Tomorrow is a "full" day of worship and adoration for us at Saint Luke's. Not only is it Trinity Sunday, and therefore a very special day in the Church Kalendar, but it is also Memorial Day weekend.We will be worshiping the Trinity, embracing both the temporal and spiritual natures of our common life in Christ, and remembering those who gave their lives in defense of the freedoms we enjoy in the United States of America.
The Memorial Day weekend prayer follows, and it is good to include in our personal prayers throughout the weekend -
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.
Sunday will be marked by special hymns, including "Faith of our Fathers," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and "God Bless Our Native Land," to name but three!
And in preparation for the examination of the propers of the day during the Sunday masses, here's last year's Trinity Sunday video meditation, entitled "We 'Nicodemize' Life!"
Finally, a sign of the time in which we live, regarding evangelism in the 21st Century? Our internet ministry, through which more than 42,000 viewings of our YouTube video meditations have occurred, while 10,000+ visits to our parish blog have also taken place!!!
Laus Deo!
