Too many people today are without good, strong preaching, to the detriment of all. Share the good stuff.
Was there a GOOD point made in the sermon you heard at your Mass of obligation for the Trinity Sunday?
Tell about attendance especially for the Traditional Latin Mass.
Any local changes or (hopefully good) news? I know there is a lot of BAD news. How about some good news?
A taste of my thoughts from the other place: HERE
“Si comprehendis, non est Deus… If you can grasp it, it’s not God.” — St. Augustine (s. 117.5)
That stark declaration by the Doctor of Grace brings us, creeping like Moses, to the cleft in the rock through which we must peer longingly for the ultimate mystery. We believe in the Triune Godhead, and therefore strive for understanding. But this mystery is not for human comprehension, but rather for adoring and transforming awe. Trinity Sunday is not so much an occasion of theology and debate.

Father taught the doctrine of the Trinity by the analogy of an ear of corn. If memory serves he said in his Mexican language, the word for the green leaves means “truth,” the word for the silk has to do with love and the kernels are life because you eat them. This was interesting but he proceeded to eat some corn right there at the pulpit. Was he intending to call to mind the Eucharist also?
I couldn’t help wondering what Fr. Z would say.
At our FSSP parish, a solemn mass for Trinity Sunday with several seminarians present all resplendent in cassock and biretta requiring lots of folding chairs in the sanctuary.
The Trinity is a mystery that we cannot comprehend. The question is sometimes asked why if God is totally sufficient in himself, why did He need to begat a Son and a Holy Ghost? It was from an overflowing of love, like the measure that is packed down and overflowing as mentioned in the Bible.
On this Father’s Day, we fathers, like God our Father, need to have an excess of love, like that measure which is packed down and overflowing.
