WE GROW IN MYSTERY
Each year Trinity Sunday calls us to reflect on the life of God. The more we discover about God, the greater the mystery of His presence and love. Mystery means that we can never say we know God - there is always something more to discover, to share, to experience.
Our main “door” to the mystery of God is Jesus - the Way, the Truth, the Life. He is the image of the invisible God, the Word made among us. To make our journey to God, we begin with Jesus who has promised to be with us “always, to the end of time”. Pentecost reminded us, last Sunday, that even the Apostles didn’t come to full truth about Jesus without the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For us to understand Jesus we need the Holy Spirit and to go the Father we need the Son. They mystery of the Trinity is at the heart of our Christian lives. That is why we begin and end everything in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Real leaders are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.
CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION
The Corpus Christi Procession this year will take place after the Vigil Mass next Saturday, 13th. The Procession will leave by the Harbour St gate, down Harbour St, William St, Church St, Henry St, concluding with Benediction in the Sacred Heart School grounds. All are invited, a special invitation is extended to the children who made First Communion and their families. The theme of the procession is "Stay with us Lord". In these difficult times, the procession is one way of reminding us that God never leaves his people.
SACRED HEART NOVENA
There will be a Novena held in honour of the Sacred Heart on June 17th, 18th, 19th (the feast of the Sacred Heart. Novena prayers will be at the morning Masses and each evening at 7.30pm there will be devotions and Benediction. The Sacred Heart is favourite devotion of many Catholics. One promise made by the Lord to those who follow this devotion is “I will give peace to their families”. In difficulty what greater prayer is there than, “Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in thee”?

SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS
Jesus meets the disciples for the last time. His final words give them direction for their future. Perhaps you can recall such parting moments in your own life - leaving home, school, college, or the death of a loved one. Was there an occasion when the words spoken to you gave you direction for your future?
Perhaps you can identify with Jesus in the story, when as a parent, teacher or in some other way, you sent someone on their way in life, knowing that you would not be with them as in the past. When did the way you parted help the other to make their way in life.
Jesus told his disciples that although he would not be physically with them he would be with them in a new way right through life. Have there been times when you were reassured by the love and support of another even though they were not physically present with you?
