Reflection

By: Benj Santiago

 

"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

The Holy Trinity: Father, Son, Holy Spirit! In the beginning, Abraham has heard the Father but did not see Him. Then Jesus came and He; the Son of God, was physically present with Mary, Joseph, and His disciples and friends. God manifests His presence in flesh and blood. Jesus is God with us! And after Jesus was lifted up into heaven, He promised to send the Advocate, the Holy Spirit. God within each of us! "I am with you always, until the end of times". God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three in One.

As Catholics, we honor the Holy Trinity every time we pray. We begin our prayers with the sign of the Cross acknowledging the presence of the Holy Trinity. This is unique to us Catholics and we should be proud to proclaim our belief in the Holy Trinity. Personally, it empowers me. Each time I give a talk or a lecture in the many fora I attend, I pray and it empowers me. Every time we attend the Holy Mass, we begin with the sign of the cross!

 

Prayer

 

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, AMEN! Thank You Holy Trinity for your presence in our lives. We thank You for all the blessings we have received. We thank You we are still alive. We thank You for empowering us to be a blessing to other people's lives. We ask You to continue to bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit! AMEN!
