The Most Holy Trinity

My Dear People, 

              The Sunday after Pentecost is the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. We have now completed the Lenten Season and after the resurrection of Jesus, we have completed the forty days that Jesus was on the earth before he went to the Father. Ten days after He sent the Holy Spirit to the apostles (this happened on Pentecost Sunday), St. Patrick is depicted with the shamrock. He used that as to explain to the native people of Ireland the mystery of the trinity.  Each of the leaves are individual but together they form a unity. Each of the persons of the trinity are individual persons, but together they form one unit.

The Feast of the Blessed Trinity enables us to celebrate all three persons of the Blessed Trinity: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Why is this feast important? If we are bound for Heaven, where we will be in the presence of the Blessed Trinity, then it behooves us to celebrate a particular feast for the three persons.  Each of the three persons of the Blessed Trinity lives in the Divine Will. This means each person does the will of the other totally and completely. When Jesus was on the earth he said that he did the will of the Father in everything. The Father told him what to say and how to say it. This was so much so that if the Father would have come to the earth, He would have behaved exactly how Jesus   behaved. Jesus mentioned to the apostles. “Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own. The Father who dwells in me is doing his works” (John 14:10). We have now received the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit follows the will of both the    Father and the Son, so that whoever follows the Holy Spirit follows Jesus.  The three persons of the Blessed Trinity are one. They are totally giving to each other, so that the only thing left of them is their own identity.    Through our human and limited way we are called to imitate the three Persons of the Blessed Trinity. Jesus said: “Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And  whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” (John 14:21). The best way for us to live in the Divine Will is to obey Jesus’ commandments. By obeying the Commandments we show that we love God. 

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Vincent  Clemente

    Mr. FATHER and Dear Sisters and Brothers.
    Hi, my name is Patrick, I'm 44 and live in Raveo, Italy. I am suffering from Muscular Dystrophy since birth, I have been in a wheelchair since I was 17 years old. I live in a small mountain village, a place where there are few public transport and none of them is suitable for disabled in wheelchairs, there are transport cooperatives but they are very expensive.

    I have my van, unfortunately is old and has serious mechanical problems so I have to change it. Also I need funds to do renovations of my house, so some of the money will be used to do these renovations.
    With this Crowdfunding I want to get the sum needed to buy a new vehicle and to do the renovations. Unfortunately a vehicle suited to my needs is expensive, I do not work and live with my invalidity pension, for me it is very important to have a van to be able to make my trips in total freedom, for medical examinations, spending, for urgent transport in first aid, for socialization activities and for any trips.
    The van I have to buy already adapted and the works constern the maximum € 40000, I do not have that sum and I have no access to financial or bank loans.
    The van has a high cost because as seen from the picture I am very large and heavy, in addition also the electronic wheelchair is rather cumbersome and heavy so I have to take a medium/large vehicle.
    With this initiative I want to ask people a contribution to allow me to buy the van. PLEASE, COLLECT FUNDS IN THE CHURCH WITH YOUR COMMUNITY AND PRAY FOR ME.

    I hope so much to get help from anyone who can make a donation, thanks to all those who want to contribute to this Crowdfunding and even who has found the time to read.
    PLEASE HELP ME SENDING THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR CONTACT FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TO YOUR FRIENDS ....
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
