GOSPEL: Luke 9:51-62
Dear friends, the word of the Lord reminds us of the demands of authentic Christian discipleship. A call to be totally committed to Christ. Without “Looking back,” we must freely “slaughter” all the forces, distractions, and obstacles that prevent us from following and serving God.

GOSPEL: John 16:12-15
The Holy Trinity is the Christian doctrine that holds that God is one, but with three co-eternal con-substantial persons; the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit as "one God in three divine Persons".
The solemnity of the Holy Trinity reminds us that, although we are called to be united, each one of us is unique. None should be deprived of his uniqueness. Therefore, as one united, “but not uniform people,” we must continue to work for the progress of God’s kingdom.

GOSPEL: JOHN 20:19-23
FAN INTO FLAME THE GIFT OF GOD
Dear Friends,
The Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples who had gathered in Jerusalem as Jesus had instructed, not simply to remind them that he was still with them, but for the purpose of empowering and equipping them to be witnesses to the grace of Jesus Christ and His saving love.
Today, we live in a divided world of broken nations, economics, politics, religions, cultures, languages and differences. Through the conduit of our wisdom, fortitude, knowledge, piety, counsel, understanding and fear of the Lord, we want to let this fire of love burn away the darkness of hatred, racism, division, violence, terrorism, war, injustices and inhumane activities in our homes and work places.
