Fr Juan writes: THE MOST HOLY TRINTY
Breaking News! Good News! We can drop an old faulty mind-set! God is not an "old and powerful bachelor!" God is a community of people. God is a family—a communion of persons in a relationship of love.
Not a toxic relationship. Not a virtual relationship. Not an artificial relationship. Not a financially beneficial relationship. Not a relationship of need. But a relationship of giving, of self-giving love. Liberating, self-transcending, a relationship in the truth that does not judge, a patient relationship, an allowing and forgiving relationship, a fruitful relationship.
Our God is not a self-isolating being and we are created after his signature. He has created us in his own image. Let us enter, therefore, the life of this heavenly community through the community of the Church that mirrors it. A common-unity that can truly begin to produce life, peace, and joy amongst us. The Trinity is not a theory to understand, but a life to enter.

Archbishop Richard Moth is asking the whole diocese to pray for Vocations to the Priesthood.
We know that it is from amongst his people that God calls his shepherds, and so, between Good Shepherd Sunday and Pentecost, parishes are encouraged to bring their parishioners together for a Holy Hour each week. Here at Holy Trinity our normal half hour of Adoration on Monday from 6.30 pm, following Mass, will be extended until 7.30 pm. The Adoration will not take place on the two bank holiday Mondays in May, so the four weeks of prayer will be extended into the beginning of June.
Monday 1st June: 6.30 – 7.30 pm (after 6.00 pm Mass) Pray for your parish's priests and all clergy serving in the diocese.
God our Father, you give us the Sacraments as signs and instruments of your love and mercy. Draw from amongst your disciples men who are willing to serve your Church generously as priests in the Diocese of Westminster, to minister to your people and to proclaim the Gospel to all. Send your Spirit to guide and strengthen them, to be their companion on the journey, as they discern your will for their lives. This prayer we make through Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Blessed Lady Immaculate, Pray for us. St John Southworth, Pray for us |
Need a gift for someone who has everything? Why not book a Mass for their intentions? Masses can be booked in the parish office where you will also receive a beautiful card. Recommended donation £10.
Major Repairs to the stonework of the Tower and Spire of the Church are urgently needed. Protective scaffolding has been erected and a detailed programme of the works required is being drawn up.

Researched and written by our parishioner Christopher Road, augmenting the Parish History he has also written: 'Little Rome – The Story of Holy Trinity Brook Green'. The booklets are £5 each, and the Parish History is £12.50. They can be purchased during office hours from the Parish Office. You can also purchase a PDF version of the two booklets by emailing the parish office.
