In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective?

What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

After Nathan had spoken to
him, King David went in and,
10. seated before the Lord, said:
‘Who am I, O Lord, and what
is my House, that you have
led me as far as this? Yet in
your sight, O Lord, this is still
not far enough, and you make
11. your promises extend to the
House of your servant for a
far-distant future. You have
constituted your people Israel
to be your own people for
ever; and you, Lord, have
12. become their God.
‘Now, O Lord, always keep
the promise you have made
your servant and his House,
and do as you have said.
Your name will be exalted for
13. ever and men will say, “The
Lord of Hosts is God over
Israel.” The House of your
servant David will be made
secure in your presence,
since you yourself, Lord of
14. Hosts, God of Israel, have
made this revelation to your
servant, “I will build you a
House”; hence your servant
has ventured to offer this
prayer to you. Yes, Lord, you
15. are God indeed, your words
are true and you have made
this fair promise to your
servant. Be pleased, then, to
bless the House of your
servant, that it may continue
16. for ever in your presence; for
you, Lord, have spoken; and
with your blessing the House
of your servant will be for
ever blessed.’

Jacob.’ The Psalm

give him the throne
of his father David.

Gospel Acclamation
30. The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
A Reading from the holy Gospel
according to Mark 4:21-25
Glory to you, O Lord.
The Gospel
31. Jesus said to his disciples,
‘Would you bring in a lamp to
put it under a tub or under
the bed? Surely you will put
it on the lamp-stand? For
there is nothing hidden but it
32. must be disclosed, nothing
kept secret except to be
brought to light. If anyone
has ears to hear, let him
listen to this.’
He also said to them, ‘Take
33. notice of what you are
hearing. The amount you
measure out is the amount
you will be given – and more
besides; for the man who
has will be given more; from
34. the man who has not, even
what he has will be taken
away.’
35. The Gospel of the Lord
Praise to you, Lord
Jesus Christ.
36.
37. May the sacrifice which we gladly
present on the feast day of blessed
Saint Thomas Aquinas, be pleasing to
you, O God, for, taught by him, we
too, give ourselves entirely to you in
praise. Through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen

mercy on us, so that where
sin abounds your grace
may abound all the more,
and we shall become
Merciful like you. Amen.
