ST.

COLUMBA CATHOLIC CHURCH June 19, 2011 Most Holy Trinity Sunday

SAN DIEGO

Pastors Corner ~
SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY As we celebrate this solemn dogma of faith of the Oneness of God in Three Divine Persons, we are faced with the mystery of God Himself. This mystery is not meant to be understood but to be believed. We are Gods image (Genesis 1:27) and in our lives, we reveal the life and love of God. God is love (1 John 4:8) and this truth flows into the principle of human life and existence: we were made out of love and should continue to exist because of love. Because we are from God who is love and we will go back to God, we may say that God (the Holy Trinity) is our origin and destiny. And since God is a Communion of Persons, our life is not meant to be solitary but to be lived in communion of love with others. A FATHERS DAY PRAYER God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless those fathers who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of parenting. Bless those who have lost a spouse to death or divorce who are parenting their children alone. Also bless those who are not biological fathers but are sincerely and lovingly taking care of the younger ones. Strengthen them by your love that they may become the loving, caring persons they are meant to be. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen!

Congratulations!
Each year the Catholic Diocese of San Diego conducts a special ceremony for Girl Scouts that have earned the honor of their Catholic Medal.
