PASTOR JOHN PAUL ECHERT

THE THREE R’S

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellow-

ship of the Holy Spirit be with you all!” —2 Corinthians 13:13

When God revealed to Moses that His name was “Lord” and that He was

“a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and

fidelity” (Ex 34:6), “Moses at once bowed down to the ground in

worship” (Ex 34:8). Moses immediately knew that when God gives greater

revelation of Who He is, this is an event of great significance.

There are 3 R’s in life: revelation, relationship, and responsibility. When

the Holy Spirit of Pentecost further reveals to us the depths of God (see 1

Cor 2:11), that God is Trinity, all relationships are dramatically changed.

Before the Trinity was revealed, we were God’s people. After the Trinity

was further revealed through Jesus’ Paschal mystery, we can become

God’s family, even His adopted sons and daughters. Moreover, before

the Trinity was revealed, marriage included polygamy, concubines, and

divorce. When we began to realize that God is Trinity, Family, and

unconditional Love (1 Jn 4:8, 16), monogamy was obviously the essence

of marriage, divorce was superseded, and marriage and family became

a sacrament of Trinitarian love. Finally, these transformed, Trinitarian

relationships are so beautiful and life-giving that we have the

responsibility to tell everyone that the revelation of the Trinity can raise

every relationship to a new level of love.

We have been baptized into the Trinity, that is, we are immersed in

Trinitarian love. Let us live accordingly.

Prayer: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You

are our Life, Love, and Family. We are all

Yours.

Promise: “God so loved the world that He

gave His only Son, that whoever believes

in Him may not die but may have eternal

life.” —Jn 3:16

Praise: “Persevere in God’s love, and

welcome the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ

which leads to eternal life” (Jude 21).

Part of Pope Francis' Pentecost Sunday homily, delivered

May 31, 2020, at the Basilica of St. Peter “There are different kinds of spiritual gifts,

but the same Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:4),

as the Apostle Paul writes to the

Corinthians. He continues: “There are

different forms of service, but the same

Lord; there are different workings but the

same God who produces all of them in

everyone” (vv. 5- 6). Diversity and unity: St. Paul puts together two words that

seem contradictory. He wants to tell us that the Holy Spirit is the one who brings

together the many; and that the Church was born this way: we are all different, yet

united by the same Holy Spirit.

We are asking you to post your
