Ask: Does anyone remember what we talked
about last Sunday? <let the children discuss> Last
Sunday we celebrated the Feast of Pentecost. We
celebrated the birthday of the church, the day the
Holy Spirit came to the apostles. It was on
Pentecost that the Holy Spirit kept the promise that
Jesus made to his friends – that he would not leave
them alone. The Holy Spirit came to help them and
to help us too.
Say: Today is the Feast of the Holy Trinity.
Ask: Can anyone tell me what the Trinity is? <the Trinity is the idea of three persons in one God> Does this mean that we have three Gods? <no>
Say: Our symbol is three interconnected circles. One symbol with three distinct parts.
Explain: St. Patrick used a shamrock (or clover) to show people what the Trinity meant. There are three leaves on a shamrock.
Each leaf is representing a person. The three persons IN ONE

Liturgy of the Word
First Reading
Say: Today’s first reading is from the
old Testament book of Deuteronomy
4:32-34, 39-40
32 “Search the past, the time before you were born, all the way back to the time when God created human beings on the earth. Search the entire earth. Has anything as great as this ever happened before? Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? 33 Have any people ever lived after hearing a god speak to them from a fire, as you have? 34 Has any god ever dared to go and take a people from another nation and make them his own, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt? Before your very eyes he used his great power and strength; he brought plagues and war, worked miracles and wonders, and caused terrifying things to happen. 39 So remember today and never forget: the Lord is God in heaven and on earth. There is no other god. 40 Obey all his laws that I have given you today, and all will go well with you and your descendants. You will continue to live in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to be yours forever.”

Gospel Reflection.
Can anyone tell me a word that means “rose from the dead”? <lead the children to the word, ”resurrection”> Today’s Gospel reading is about a time after Jesus’ resurrection. He appeared to his eleven disciples on a mountain. Does anyone remember why there were eleven disciples? <because Judas was no longer with the “disciples”> When Jesus met his disciples, they still didn’t understand what had happened and what they were supposed to do. Pretend that you are one of the eleven. You know that your friend Jesus was killed. You know that you are supposed to believe that he rose from the dead. But what you don’t know is what you are supposed to do next. Listen closely to what Jesus tells his friends – AND you! – and think of the persons of the Trinity that you will hear about.
Profession of our faith
I believe in God the Father, Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
! --bow down--
Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, died and was buried:
He descended into hell:
And the third day He rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven,
and seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
