Holy Trinity Sunday: One God, three persons - Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, God is the present, the past and the future. The mystery is incomprehensible and inexplicable, said Saint Athanasius: ‘If God is comprehensible to the human mind, then he is not true God.’ The word ‘Trinity’ was first used in the third century, it is a combination of two words “Tri” and ‘Unity’, meaning three but one.

Sunday 8 June 2025. Pentecost Sunday: Comforter, Illuminator and Peacemaker, the Holy Spirit; Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with You, believers, and kindle in our hearts the fire of Your love.

You could say that it was like a testament, making known to everyone the message that Jesus left, about loving one another, which all his disciples should live by. The friends mentioned in the Gospel are not just those of the same faith or origin, but all the people to whom love should be shown. The love of ‘friends’ for Christians is not just the result of a compassionate heart, but a true imitation of Jesus Christ himself and what he did...
