"The Best ideal is the true and other truth is none.
All glory be ascribed to the holy Three in One."
Gerard Manley Hopkins
Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
"All three in a great dynamic of love, are so close
that they are One God." - Fr. John Foley, S. J.
Trinity Sunday, officially "The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity," is one of the few feasts of the Christian Year that celebrates a reality and doctrine rather than an event or person. On Trinity Sunday we remember and honor the eternal God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Trinity Sunday is celebrated the Sunday after Pentecost, and lasts only one day, which is symbolic of the unity of the Trinity. The Eastern Churches have no tradition of Trinity Sunday, arguing that they celebrate the Trinity every Sunday. Westerners do as well, although they set aside a special feast day for the purpose.

"O Trinity, eternal Trinity!
Fire, abyss of love
was it necessary that You should give
even the Holy Trinity as food for souls?

You gave us not only Your Word

O Sisters, if we would only comprehend the fact
that while the Eucharistic Species remain within us,
Jesus is there and working in us
inseparably with the Father and the Holy Spirit
and therefore the whole Holy Trinity is there."
St Mary Magdalene di Pazzi

"In the communion of grace with the Trinity,
man's 'living area' is broadened
man's 'living area' is broadened
and raised up to the supernatural level of divine life."

"The Eucharistic gift assumes even more awesome proportions
when we reflect that the Son of God present herein is ever united,
intimately and indivisibly, with His co-Persons in the Trinity -
His Eternal Father and their mutual Spirit of Love; which means
that they, too, are mysteriously yet really with Him,
and consequently with us no less. In effect, then,
the total Eucharistic mystery includes the presence of both
the Father and the Holy Spirit as an inseparable concomitant.
That is, the Blessed Sacrament embraces the
Trinitarian mystery within its compass."

“Where, dear father, will you be able to draw the energy
necessary to assume in various circumstances
the right attitude that your children,
even without knowing it, expect from you?”

“St. Joseph is the answer to this,” he proclaimed.
"St Joseph was an ordinary sort of man
on whom God relied to do great things.
He did exactly what the Lord wanted him to do,
in each and every event that went to make up his life."
