O Beata Trinitas! Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity pray for us and teach us to contemplate, worship, adore, praise and thank the Triune God, Three Divine Persons, One God!

The One True God, the Most Holy Trinity is a Covenant of Communion of Three Divine Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This Covenant of Communion is Perfection in Love, Happiness, Relationship, Beatitude and Everything that is Good. Furthermore, in the overflowing Goodness and Generosity of the Triune God, Who is Love, we are created out of nothing to know, love and serve God and be happy with Him forever.

Our destiny, if we are faithful to God and live in a state of grace, is to participate in the Covenant of Communion of the Most Holy Trinity. The human person who lived and lives most perfectly in Communion with God is Our Blessed Mother, Mary. Look to Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity to discover the wonder and awe of life in Communion with the Most Holy Trinity.

Ask Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity to teach you how to contemplate, worship, adore, praise and thank the Most Holy Trinity for your call to Communion with God. Ask Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity to share with you her relationships with the Most Holy Trinity as daughter of the Father, mother and disciple of the Son, and spouse and sanctuary of the Holy Spirit. Also ask Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity to take you to the inner room of your soul and behold the Most Holy Trinity.

Ask Our Lady to bring you to the throne of the Most Holy Trinity. In fact, ask Our Lady to bring you into the presence of the Most Holy Eucharist and then ask for the Light to contemplate, worship, adore, praise and thank the Most Holy Trinity and to love God above all things just for Himself. Then, in this Sacred Place OPEN YOUR HEART AND PRAISE GOD as you prayerfully reflect upon the following antiphons from the Divine Office for Trinity Sunday:

"Glory to you, O Trinity, one God in three equal Persons, as in the beginning, so now, and for ever." "Praise to the Holy Trinity and undivided Unity. Let us praise God for he has shown us his mercy." "Glory and honor to God in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; glory and praise to him for endless ages." "We give you thanks, O God; we give you thanks, Trinity one and true, Divinity one and most high, Unity one and holy." "Come, let us worship the true God: One in Trinity, Trinity in One." "Come and stay with us, O God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit." "The Father is Love, the Son is grace, the Holy Spirit is their bond of fellowship; O blessed Trinity." "The Father utters the Truth, the Son is the Truth he utters, and the Holy Spirit is Truth; O Blessed Trinity." "To you, O blessed Trinity, be worship and honor, glory and power, praise and joyful adoration through eternal ages." "May all your creatures give you fitting praise, adoration and glory, O blessed Trinity." "All things are from him, through him, and in him; to him be glory for ever." "O holy, undivided Trinity, Creator and Ruler of all that exists, may all praise be yours now, for ever, and for ages unending." "We call upon you, we praise you, we worship you, O blessed Trinity." "In you are our hope, our salvation, our dignity, O blessed Trinity." "O Holy Trinity, we profess that for you to be, to live, to understand are all one." "O Trinity most high, eternal and true: Father, Son and Holy Spirit." "Save us, set us free and give us life, O blessed Trinity." "Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, the God who is, who was, and who is to come." "With our whole heart and voice we acclaim you, O God; we offer you our praise and worship, unbegotten Father, only-begotten Son, Holy Spirit, constant friend and guide; most holy and undivided Trinity, to you be glory for ever."

Now sing with Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, St. Joseph, and all the Holy Angels and Saints: "Praise the holy Trinity, Undivided Unity; Holy God, Mighty God, God Immortal, be adored." We pray: "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Alleluia!"

The Holy Spirit Comes to Renew the Face of the Earth

JMJ+OBT
Veni, Creator Spiritus! Come, Holy Spirit, Come; Come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well Beloved Spouse! Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!

We rejoice with Our Blessed Mother, the Apostles and all who have been in the Upper Room confidently awaiting a new outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit comes to renew the face of the earth principally by transforming hearts and minds. The Holy Spirit comes as a strong wind, which is the life giving breath of God. Jesus taught: "This is eternal life-to know the One True God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent." Jesus fulfills His promise to send us the Holy Spirit Who will teach us the meaning of all that Jesus taught us and teaches us through the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church that Jesus established and sends the Holy Spirit upon. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit comes as a consuming fire. The Holy Spirit comes to consume and transform us in the fires of Divine Love. Just as the Holy Spirit came as a fire to upon the salvific self-giving sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, and just as the Holy Spirit comes as a fire upon the offering in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Holy Spirit comes as a fire upon those who offer themselves in union with Jesus. We urge you to renew the offering of yourself to the Most Holy Trinity through Our Blessed Mother, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit comes to empower us to continue the Mission of Jesus to proclaim the Truth of God's Love. We recognize that before we can be sent into Mission, we need to have a living relationship with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit empowers us to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord of lords and King of kings. It is only in the Holy Spirit that we can proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord. It is only in the Holy Spirit that we can call God "Our Father," Abba. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!

Before going into Mission we need to realize that we are children of God, created in the image and likeness of God, to witness to the family life of the Most Holy Trinity. It is a metaphysical truth that we must be in order to do. We were baptized into the Trinitarian family life by water and the Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit that sends the Church into Mission, is the Holy One Who brought us to be children of God in our baptism. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit is the Sanctifier! The Holy Spirit comes to make us holy. This means that the Holy Spirit consumes and transforms the WHOLE gift of one who offers himself or herself with the desire to be HOLY. The Holy Spirit opens the eyes to a faith vision that sees the majesty of God. The Holy Spirit opens the ears to hear the glory of the voice of God in Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium of the Church. The Holy Spirit brings us Divine Wisdom which is Sapientia or a "Savory" science. Taste and see the Goodness of the Lord. The Holy Spirit comes with a beautiful fragrance which we enter into with prayer. The Holy Spirit prays deep within us with groanings and longings as He unites our innermost being with the deep things of God. The Holy Spirit touches us with the touch of Divine Love. The Holy Spirit is the finger of God Who touches our hearts to give us natural hearts that fulfill the commands of God. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth that reveals the Truth, Jesus Christ, that sets us free. Jesus says: "You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free." The Holy Spirit enlightens our minds to recognize Divine Revelation AND to understand Divine Revelation. Revelation literally means to remove the veil that covers our minds. Jesus is the Revelation of the Father. The Holy Spirit is this Love and Union between the Father and the Son. This Love transforms our hearts in the Goodness of the Father which we see as we behold the face of Jesus Christ with unveiled faces so that we may live from grace to grace and glory to glory. Thank You Holy Spirit! Praise You Holy Spirit!

THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT! PRAISE YOU HOLY SPIRIT! In fact, the ability to thank God and praise God is a gift that comes to us in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Person-Love and Person-Gift. Start your prayer and end your prayer with praise and thanksgiving and your life will change for the better. God willing, in Eternity, we will be praising and thanking God for all Eternity. Since this is your destiny, start now. Ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother and live this relationship Our Lady has with the Divine Person of the Holy Spirit. Then you will live a life of praise and thanksgiving which is a taste of heaven.
