(John 16:13-15) But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself: but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak. And the things that are to come, he shall shew you. He shall glorify me: because he shall receive of mine and shall shew it to you. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said that he shall receive of me and shew it to you.

FROM THE MAILBAG

REFLECTION by Father Ted:
May dearest Lord Jesus, today on this feast of the Most Holy Trinity You remind me, and others, about Who You are and Who God is – namely Love.
In the past You have reminded us that God is not only Your “Abba”, that is “Daddy” but that He is also our “Abba – Daddy”.
Also in the past You have told us that You are The Image of the Father. You did this especially when Philip asked You to show him the Father and You replied to him that he who sees You sees the Father. You told him in other words that You are the “spitting image” of the Father.
You have likewise indicated to us that the Holy Spirit is just like You and just like the Father.
Yes, You are three persons and yet one God – The God who is Love.
In the first reading of today’s Mass Your Holy Spirit inspired King Solomon to write that You delight in us men. You delight in us; so too does the Father and the Holy Spirit because You are one.
In the Book of Genesis You reminded us that You created us in Your image, after Your likeness.
You made us, as I have so frequently declared in my reflections, to know You, to love You and to serve You on earth so that we can be with You in Your home in heaven.
You who are The Holy Family have invited us to become members of Your Holy Family – to enjoy the delights of The Holy Family.
Today, especially at the two Masses You enabled me to offer this morning You impelled me to tell others that on Holy Thursday night, before You offered Yourself to the Father for us, on Good Friday afternoon before You completed Your Perfect offering of Yourself, on Easter Sunday night when You appeared to the ten apostles, and on Ascension Thursday before You returned to the Father in heaven, You gave and promised to us four special gifts – perfect gifts of love.
They were: Yourself in the Holy Eucharist - on Holy Thursday; Your Mother – on Good Friday; the forgiveness of our sins through confession – on Easter Sunday; and the Holy Spirit – on Ascension Thursday who came on Pentecost Sunday.
Such incredible gifts of love You give to us so that we can live each day in Your love by loving one another as You love each one of us.
Thank You Jesus for revealing to us who You are. Thank You Jesus for giving to us such marvelous gifts of love. Thank You Jesus for allowing us to share Your love, Your Life, You peace and Your joy with each other.
May we do each day all that You ask of us dearest Jesus.
May we become more and more like You, like the Father, and like the Holy Spirit – holy.

Ladder of Divine Ascent excerpt: Step 26- "On discernment of thoughts, passions, and virtues"

49. All the contrary virtues are born of parents contrary to these. But without enlarging on the subject, I will merely say that for all the passions mentioned above, the remedy is humility. Those who have obtained that virtue have overcome all.

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

Saint Augustine

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who watch for my life consult together
and say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
who seek my hurt.

But I will hope continually
and will praise you yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
Your righteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been put to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
