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.

was filled to overflowing, again, as a
result of the conference.
I was admitted into the ER where they did many more tests and then
put in ICU for 2 days for 24/7 observation. During this time it was discovered
I was anemic and needed some blood transfused. I stayed for 4 more days to
take blood and continue testing. The lack of blood in my body, it was
determined was the reason for the shortness of breath and the heart attack as
my heart was lacking blood to pump
In 2 weeks I will have a Angiogram for my heart to check the current
condition after healing for this period of time. Pray that it shows no damage to
my heart and the problem is over.

Thank you for all of your prayers and thank God for His mercy as we
