Let us strive after purity of heart, for the Holy Spirit dwells in candid and simple minds - Saint Philip Neri. Saint William, you left behind worldly privileges and set your heart on God alone. Prince and peasant sought your wisdom. The needy found in you the compassion of God. By your example and intercessions, help us to imitate your faith, hope, and love. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
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.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, as we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of Christ into Heaven today, let us acknowledge our risen Lord as our Messiah by truly believing in Him, by deepening our hope and desire to attain the kingdom of God, and by witnessing to Him in the world today when we proclaim and live out His gospel and our faith in Him in the world.
