Today we prayed for two of our friends who are ill. Eve,aged 7, who comes every week to our liturgy, is in hospital at Nottingham, as she has leukemia.

You can visit her website on www.caringbridge.org/visit/evekelly

also Harry, aged 70+, one of our keenest supporters, is still unable to get to mass, as his legs are so weak at the moment.

We miss them both so much and long to see them both well again at St. Joseph's.

We talked over how Eve had enjoyed one afternoon at the park, when she had been well enough fo her Mum to take her outside the hospital, and they had made daisy chains- and we said sorry for the times when we miss the little things in life which make it all worthwhile.

Dear Lord,
Sorry for taking things for granted and not noticing all the many small wonders you send us every day.
Amen

Today is Trinity Sunday. Trinity means three of something. In this case it means the three ways God shows us love:
God created us and all things; then he sent his Son to show us how to love each other and how much we are loved, as Jesus died for us on the cross. The Holy Spirit comes into our hearts just as Jesus might have talked to God and God to Jesus, inspires us and gives us courage. The Holy Spirit is God moving us.

It might be a bit difficult to understand, but all that is important is that God shows us we are loved.

The children chose three different colours, green for God the Father, red for God the Son and gold for God the Holy Spirit. Then the children made the letters for the word, LOVE, by tearing up the coloured paper and mixing it up before sticking it onto card. This showed that there were the three ways of thinking about God's love but all saying the one word.

The younger children carried the card back into church and were to stand on the altar showing the cards which explained God meant LOVE.
