Fr. Jim's Jots - Trinity Sunday, June 16, 2019

Fr. Jim's Jots

Greetings!

Today, we celebrate the Feast Day of the Most Holy Trinity.  Growing up in Detroit, I have fond memories of Holy Trinity Parish, in a once Irish neighborhood called Cork Town, across the street from the old Tiger Stadium.  Msgr. Clement Kern, who was the Pastor of Holy Trinity Parish, was known for his outreach to the poor and his involvement in the rights of blue-collar labor workers.

He was also a spiritual director for seminarians; he was a helpful and wonderful dedicated priest who served the church and was an inspiration to future priests like myself, to care for those less fortunate than ourselves.

On this Most Holy Trinity Sunday, I am reminded of the love of God and the revealing of his divine nature to us, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.

Today, may we remember the neighborhoods, perhaps like this corner of Richmond, in the area of Highland Park, where God's love is still revealed to us today, and miracles happen.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim Arsenault
