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
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.
So my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is time to grow, nurture and deepen our faith in God as Jesus taught us in today’s gospel reading. So let us do so, by living out the gospel of Christ when we practice the virtues of Patience, Perseverance, Humility and Confidence in God.
A person must be prepared in his soul to speak the truth, both in denouncing and correcting shortcomings and in praising virtue, to such a point that he is willing in that cause even to face death - Saint John of Sahagun
