Devotional Information:
Tomorrow is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. According to the Holy See’s Directory on Popular Piety:
158. Worship, as has been said in the first part of this Directory, is the dialogue of God with man through Christ in the Holy Spirit. A Trinitarian orientation is therefore an essential element in popular piety. It should be clear to the faithful that all pious exercises in honor of the Blessed Virgin May, and of the Angels and Saints have the Father as their final end, from Whom all thing come and to Whom all things return; the incarnate, dead and resurrected Son is the only mediator (1Tim 2,5) apart from whom access to the Father is impossible (cf. John 14,6); the Holy Spirit is the only source of grace and sanctification. It is important to avoid any concept of “divinity” which is abstract from the three Divine Persons.
