There are a number of offerings on www.FORMED.org to enrich your understanding of Trinity Sunday. Use the search function at the top of the page to find them for both adults and youth. Don't miss Dr. Tim Gray's short discussion on the readings of Holy Trinity Sunday. In his discussion, he highlights the key actions of God: first his love and second his giving. He reminds us that love is an action, not a feeling, and that love is expressed in giving. Finish with listening to "Holy, Holy, Holy" the Christian hymn that was written to use on Trinity Sunday. All of these can be found with your free parish subscription at www.FORMED.org.

O breathe on me, O Breath of God, Fill me with life anew, That I may love the things you love and do what you would do.
O breathe on me, O Breath of God, Until my heart is pure; Until my will is one with yours, To do and to endure.
O breathe on me, O Breath of God, My will to yours incline, Until this selfish part of me Glows with your fire divine.
O breath on me, O Breath of God, So I shall never die, But live with you the perfect life For all eternity.

ALL Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration hour are "unfilled?!?"
Every hour of every day in every place belongs to the Lord. While I may look forward to 'my' hour with the Lord, but I must remind myself it is HIS hour to do with us as He will.
Surely, his preference would be for the chapel to be filled with as many adorers who are called to return that hour to Him in adoration. He can, and He will, still speak an intimate word just for you...
If there is an hour I which you would like to adore, COME fill it for more Jesus! He is waiting for you. Contact Kathy Clark 203 816-7737 to enroll.
