(St.

Augustine Church, Barberton, OH) (May 26, 2013)

The Most Holy Trinity

Living Faith in May: John 16:12-15 ..the Spirit of truth will guide you to all truth How do you discern what is true when you are hearing differing things from different people? Do you have difficulty in always telling the truth? How could the Holy Spirit help you in discovering and speaking the truth even when it makes you uncomfortable? 322 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. By his Real Presence in the Eucharist, Christ fulfills his promise to be with us "always, until the end of the age" (Mt 28:20). As St. Thomas Aquinas wrote, "It is the law of friendship that friends should live together. . . . Christ has not left us without his bodily presence in this our pilgrimage, but he joins us to himself in this sacrament in the reality of his body and blood" The Holy Hour program needs you, please contact Judy Soltis 330-212-0926 if you can spare just one hour.
