THE MOST HOLY TRINITY (year C) 21/22 MAY 2016
Entrance Antiphon Blessed be God the Father and his only begotten Son and the Holy Spirit: for he has shown that he loves us.
Today the Church celebrates the feast of the Blessed Trinity. This, the ineffable mystery of God’s intimate life, is the central truth of our faith and the source of all gifts and graces. The liturgy of the Mass invites us to loving union with each of the Three Divine Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Today we can say many times, savouring it, the prayer: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. MAY PROCESSION IN HONOUR OF OUR BLESSED LADY This Sunday 22nd May 4.00pm – In our church grounds.
