St Brigid's Parish Bulletin - 4th June 2023

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

On Sunday 4th June we celebrated The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”—these are words we use every time we pray the Sign of the Cross. Even young children know them. The prayer expresses the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, that God reveals himself in Three Persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

This is difficult for anyone to understand, especially young children. St. Patrick famously explained the Trinity by relating God in Three Persons to the shamrock. A three-leaf clover has three lobes that are unique from each other but all part of the same clover or shamrock. They are three leaves, but one leaf.

Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

We celebrate this feast day on Sunday 11th June. This feast calls us to focus on two manifestations of the Body of Christ, the Holy Eucharist and the Church. The primary purpose of this feast is to focus our attention on the Eucharist. St Brigid's chose this feast day for the Sacrament of the First Holy Communion.
