His relationship to God, whom he called his Father, and to the Holy Spirit, sustained him. And he promised us a share in these relationships. It s clear that we need not indeed, cannot live as we are called to live, in isolation. The God in relationship that we call the Trinity is present to us to support us as individuals and as a community. Just as Jesus needed community, so do we. We pray now for all members of the human community who are created in the image of the triune God, For the church: that it may demonstrate profound love for all people we pray, For peace within the human community; for those who work for peace and those who resist a world community at peace we pray, For all individuals, groups, and organizations that work to build community by promoting cooperation, coordination, and collaboration we pray, For our families, where children first learn the importance of community we pray, For our American culture, where independence is often valued more highly than community or the common good we pray, For those suffering from isolation--who do not feel they belong to any community we pray, For our graduates: that they may feel the support of a caring community we pray, For those in this community who need support, especially the sick and the suffering, and for those who have died names we pray, PRAYER: Triune God, we pray that we may remember how important we are in creating links with all our brothers and sisters in the human race. Keep us mindful that we are sustained in your allencompassing love as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of Jesus, who showed us that you and we are one. Amen «Acquire the habit of speaking to God with familiarity and confidence-as to your dearest and most loving friend. Speak of your life, your plans, your troubles, your joys, your fears. In return, God will speak to you not that you will hear audible words in your ears, but words that you will clearly understand in your heart. St. Alphonsus Liguori»

5 Quando, porém, vier o Espírito da Verdade, ele vos conduzirá à plena verdade. Domingo da Santíssima Trindade: Pr 8,22-31; Sl 8; Rm 5,1-5; Jo 16, O evangelho acentua que o mistério do amor de Deus Pai é revelado pelo Filho e permanece atuante através do Espírito. Jesus, antes de sua páscoa, orienta os discípulos a pautarem a vida com seus ensinamentos. As palavras e as ações realizadas pelo Mestre serão compreendidas plenamente após sua ressurreição, mediante o Espírito da Verdade que guiará em toda a verdade (16,13). O Espírito proporciona conhecer as Escrituras, o plano de amor do Pai realizado na obra redentora do Filho. A ação eficaz do Espírito Santo resulta da comunhão perfeita entre o Pai e o Filho: Eu e o Pai somos um (10,30). Tudo o que o Pai tem pertence a Jesus, pois foi revelado através de sua vida e missão. Como Jesus, glorificou o Pai pela obra salvífica (5,19-21), o Espírito glorificará Jesus, porque receberá do que é dele para anunciá-lo aos discípulos que realizarão grandes obras em seu nome: Quem crê em mim fará as obras que eu faço, e fará ainda maiores do que estas (14,12). A 1ª leitura salienta que a sabedoria divina está presente em todas as coisas criadas e se alegra em estar com os filhos dos homens. O salmo é um hino de louvor ao Criador pelas suas obras, sendo aplicado a Cristo coroado de honra e glória por causa de nossa salvação (Hb 2,5-9). A 2ª leitura ressalta que o amor de Deus manifestado na vida, morte e ressurreição de Cristo e derramado em nossos corações pelo Espírito Santo possibilita viver na esperança, que não decepciona. Somos impelidos a crer num só Deus que é Amor (cf. 1Jo 4,8): o Pai que enviou seu Filho para a nossa salvação; Jesus Cristo, que redimiu o mundo no mistério da sua morte e ressurreição; o Espírito Santo, que guia a Igreja através dos séculos enquanto aguarda o regresso glorioso do Senhor (Porta da Fé). Reunimo-nos para celebrar o louvor ao Pai, pelo Filho, no Espírito Santo. Participando do mistério trinitário comprometemo-nos a construir a unidade em todo o nosso viver. (Extraído da Revista de Liturgia) Oração Ó Deus de compaixão e misericórdia, enviaste o teu Filho Jesus ao mundo e derramaste sobre nós o Espírito Santo, manifestando o maravilhoso mistério de tua vida. Dá-nos a graça de crer e adorar o teu mistério de comunhão e fazer de nossa vida uma busca de unidade e paz. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém. Pe. Jonas D. Christal ( LEITURAS DA SEMANA: 2a feira: 1Pd 1,3-9; Sl 110(111); Mc 10, a feira: 1Pd 1,10-16; Sl 97(98); Mc 10, a feira: 1Pd 1,18-25; Sl 147(147B); Mc 10, a feira: Gn 14,18-20; Sl 108(109); 1Cor 11,23-26; Lc 9, a feira: 1Pd 4,7-13; Sl 95(96); Mc 11, Sábado: Jd 17,20b-25; Sl 62(63); Mc 11, Corpus Christi: Gn 14,18-20; Sl 108(109); 1Cor 11,23-26; Lc 9,11-17.
