On this Sunday, the week after Pentecost, we celebrate The So-lemnity of the Most Holy Trinity in the Church. We have cele-brated this particular weekend in the Church for more than 700 years. Depending on your age, you may recall St. Pope John XXIII who orga-nized and oversaw Vatican II. Inter-estingly, it was Pope John XXII (1316-1364) who made this celebra-tion official in the Church. We consider the Holy Trinity to be one of the great mysteries in the Church. It is the mystery of the iden-tity of God. Who is God? God is one God in three Divine Persons — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Whether we are aware of this consciously or not, this is some-thing each of us acknowledges in a number of ways, especially when we go to Mass. Every time we make the Sign of the Cross, we are making a statement about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That statement is made often. At minimum it is made when the celebrating priest opens Mass with a sign of the cross. Just prior to the Gospel Reading we do an older version of the sign of the cross by making a small cross on our forehead, our lips, and our chest. The priest concludes the Mass with a blessing, and we all make a Sign of the Cross. There are so many other times before, during, and after Mass when we make the sign or the cross, and there may be other times in our daily lives when we do it. Pope Francis has said, “Every time we make the sign of the cross, we draw closer to God.” Per-haps we should do it even more often.

Can We Change Peoples’ Minds? Some people (including many Catholics) feel like it is fu-tile to continue to have a debate over the issue of abortion because people feel too strongly about it and have already made up their minds as to what they think.This is wrong. People throughout history have changed their minds on vital social issues. When the United States was new, there was no suffrage or equal rights for women and racial mi-norities. Almost universally in the United States today, the general populace recognizes that this was wrong and that women and non-whites are entitled to their basic rights as human beings, and the law recognizes it too. It took many years and decades of intense struggle involving emotions just as fierce if not more fierce than those surrounding the Pro-Life Movement in the 21st century. But victories for freedom were won and people certainly did change their minds. That is how change happens. Edu-cation is vital so that more people un-derstand the struggle to protect inno-cent life in the womb and then stand ready to defend the rights of all living people, including the unborn. Change can happen, and change will happen, providing we do our part to work tirelessly to advocate change for a freer, better world where the weak and vulnerable are protected and not exploited and/or victimized.
