RELIGIOUS MATTERS- Megan Boyd

GOSPEL REFLECTION:

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity,

Gospel Reading: John 3:16-18

God sent his Son into the world to save the world.

The reading this week recalls the action of God, who reveals himself in three persons: God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God the Father, out of love for the world, sent his Son into the world in order to save it. Through the death and resurrection of the Son, we have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit. As three persons, God always acts as a God of love. We can proudly say that our Catholic School's Week, Living Our Mission" activities reflect that LOVE.
