“Over the course of a year the Church celebrates the great deeds that God has done for us and the recurring meaning of all of these feasts can be expressed quite simply as “God-with-us.””

“How should the concept of the Trinity affect us as Christians? Well, if we are most like God in the way that we love one another in our relationships then we are most unlike God when we isolate, when we pull away from the relationships whom God has given us.”

Saint Katharine Drexel Parish - Boston, MA • May 26 ʼ24

“Let the world know that God reigns, that God is alive, that we as human beings need each other. I am a manifestation of the Living God, you are a manifestation of the Living God.”

“the only authentic way to recognize a true Christian, the true yardstick to use to recognize a Christian is not in how much the Christian knows but how much the Christian loves, for love is all that matters since God is love”


Fr. Emmanuel Ochigbo

“The Trinity isn't a math problem that we can solve even if it's tempting to try and approach it that way. It's a relationship. We have a God of relationship between each person of God and that is an invitation and a comfort.”

“Like the person who falls madly in love with someone and then can't help but write these corny love songs, like that we the Church we fall in love with God and we can't help ourselves, we try a thousand different ways to express the love that we are experiencing in our heart for God”


Fr. Mark E. Thibodeaux, SJ in "HOLY TRINITY"
St. Teresa of Avila - DC • May 26 ʼ24

“We could spend all day just talking about the theology of the Holy Trinity but if you want to understand the Holy Trinity look at the effect of the Holy Trinity”


Monsignor Raymond East
Catholic Women Preach • May 30 ʼ21

“As Church we must be a sacrament of love itself, visible signs of the Trinity. We must act decisively with love in our world in the particularities of our own contexts.”
