On this Holy Trinity Sunday – God is Love & Closeness:
The ultimate revelation of the Trinity is that God desires to be “with us” rather than just a distant entity in heaven. The Father loves the world, gave His Son to save it, and continues to guide us through the Holy Spirit.
The Trinity isn’t just a puzzle to be solved. Instead, it is a practical blueprint for life: the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit share everything & give themselves completely to one another. He asks believers to reflect this selflessness in their lives by living “with others & for others. – Pope Francis
A meeting to discuss the future of Cairde takes place on Wednesday, June 17th, at 8pm in the Youth Café. Volunteers are urgently needed, especially drivers to join the Meals-On-Wheels rota if the service is to continue. If the service must be discontinued it will impact the most vulnerable in the community. Further details from Jimmy on 0862162782.
