We, the Roman Catholic Parish of Annunciation of the

PRAYER OF THE WEEK
The Most Holy Trinity
God our Father, who by sending into the
world
the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctifi-
cation
made known to the human race your won-
drous mystery,
grant us, we pray, that in professing the
true faith,
we may acknowledge the Trinity of eternal
glory
and adore your Unity, powerful in majesty.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Reflection question:
How do I profess my faith in the Trinity in
my daily life?

Our parish has joined a Catholic website called FORMED. This website is loaded with articles, videos, eBooks, and much
more—all of which are thoroughly Catholic. You simply go to this website: https://formed.org (This is a secure site, which is
why there is an “s” in the address). Once there, there will be a spot to enter our parish access code, which is 6MMWKC.
We have unlimited access to everything on the site. I hope that you take advantage of this site, and pray that it will be ben-
eficial to you.

Pastor’s Letter
My dear brothers and sisters,
Today, we celebrate the Most Blessed Trinity, Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. The Trinity is extremely important to us, because we are created
in the image and likeness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We were all baptized in the name of the Trinity, when we make the Sign of
the Cross, we acknowledge the in-dwelling of the same Blessed Trinity. The
Trinity, although it’s a mystery, is still one of the most central tenets of our
faith.
It is necessary to emphasize the importance of the Trinity, reminding our-
selves that all three Persons of the Trinity are divine; we can never lose sight
of this.
As a seminary professor said, with frequency: the Father is God in all things,
but He is not the Son or the Spirit; the Son is God, in all things, but He is not
the Father or the Spirit; and the Spirit is God in all things, but He is not the
Son or the Father. That’s why we say God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit. Three divine Persons, one God.
The Trinity is not easy to understand or comprehend, and that’s why we call
the Blessed Trinity a mystery. Nevertheless, it is a matter of faith to which all
Catholics must adhere.
My brothers and sisters, may the Most Blessed Trinity continue to bless all of
you, and may our whole lives be a Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit indeed!
Father Patrick

Even during a war the moral law always remains valid. It re-
quires the humane treatment of noncombatants, wounded sol-
diers and prisoners of war. Deliberate actions contrary to the
law of nations, and the orders that command such actions are
crimes, which blind obedience does not excuse. Acts of mass
destruction must be condemned and likewise the extermination
of peoples of ethnic minorities, which are most grievous sins.
One is morally bound to resist the orders that command such
acts.
486. What must be done to avoid war?
Because of the evils and injustices that war brings with it, we
must do everything reasonably possible to avoid it. To this
end it is particularly important to avoid: the accumulation and
sale of arms which are not regulated by the legitimate authori-
ties; all forms of economic and social injustice; ethnic and
religious discrimination; envy, mistrust, pride and the spirit of
revenge. Everything done to overcome these and other disor-
ders contributes to building up peace and avoiding.
The Sixth Commandment: You Shall Not Commit Adultery
487. What responsibility do human persons have in regard
to their own sexual identity?
God has created human beings as male and female, equal in
personal dignity, and has called them to a vocation of love and
of communion. Everyone should accept his or her identity as
male or female, recognizing its importance for the whole of the
person, its specificity and complementarity.
488. What is chastity?
Chastity means the positive integration of sexuality within the
person. Sexuality becomes truly human when it is integrated
in a correct way into the relationship of one person to another.
Chastity is a moral virtue, a gift of God, a grace, and a fruit of
the Holy Spirit.
