I pray God may open your eyes and let you see what hidden treasures he bestows on us in the trials from which the world thinks only to flee. Therefore the more our misfortunes accumulate the more ready and prepared our souls are, to receive God’s mercy, for the greatness of our misery moves His compassion, and causes Him to show the more pity for us - Saint John of Avila
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to wake up and like Jesus, reemphasize the importance of the Sacrament of Matrimony in our lives as Catholic Christians because this sacrament reflects God's self-giving love in the love spouses have for each other; in the act of procreation and in the act of educating our children in the Catholic faith.
So my dear brothers and sisters, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity today, let us appreciate and proclaim the love of the Triune God, by going out and making disciples of all nations; by teaching them to observe all that God has commanded us; and by reminding all that God is always with us, until the end of the age.
How are we preparing ourselves for the second coming of Christ or for judgment day? We can prepare ourselves for the second coming of Christ or judgment day by truly understanding and accepting the Word of God proclaimed and explained to us; by sincerely following Christ in word and deeds; and by continually praising and honoring God all the days of our lives.
