PENTECOST SUNDAY
INTRODUCTION:
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Blessed Trinity. We proclaim our faith: there is only one God, but in God, there is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Feast of the Blessed Trinity helps us to think of God in the right way: God is not an old man with a long beard, sitting on a throne and feeling lonely. Rather this Feast tells us that God is a community. Life, joy and mutual love are vibrating in God. God, son and Love. That is the Blessed trinity.
GOSPEL: JOHN 3: 16 -18
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
