Fr. Shawn’s Message
Blessed Most Holy Trinity!
Understanding the Trinity can
be complex, but a rewarding
one for our faith. Believe it or
not, the Trinity is one of my
favorite courses at the
seminary. This course required
a lot of reading on various
theologians’ thoughts on the
Trinity. One of them came to
mind and his name is Richard
of St. Victor, a Medieval
Scottish philosopher and
theologian, and one of the
most influential religious
thinkers during the Medieval
times. He was a prior of the
famous Augustinian Abbey of
Saint Victor in Paris from 1162
until his death in 1173. He
wrote the “De Trinitate”
during the time he was a prior.
He recognized the works of
the Trinity when he was
communicating with other
monks in sign language during
a meal in the Abbey. Reading

Comparisons are useful in our futile attempt to
explain the Trinity; it is though our Faith that we
accept this mystery.
After several times reading the following reflection
from Living Liturgy, The Most Holy Trinity 2022, I
thought others might find it interesting and useful.
“Theology developed a word to describe the dynamic
relationship between the Persons of the Trinity and
the community of believers - perichoresis, or
“dance.” In this metaphorical language, the Trinity is
a partnership of encircling and embracing, a graceful
movement of loving attentiveness into which we are
invited as partners who must, in our turn, draw others
into the dance by our loving outreach to them. With
the imagery of the dance, we cannot think of God as
solitary.”
From the time we were baptized “in the name of the
Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit” and with
every sign of the cross we make in our daily lives we
are reminded the Blessed Trinity is with us.
We appreciate the response to the parent survey: the
returned surveys will be useful in planning next year’s
program. If you didn’t receive the survey information,
please contact the Parish Office.
