SERMON.
To-day, my dear Brethren, the Church celebrates the feast of the Most Holy Trinity. In Advent she glorified the Father for the merciful redemption she saw Him preparing for mankind; from Christmas to Easter she adored God the Son in His birth and sufferings and death, and last Sunday she sang the praises of God the Holy Ghost the Sanctifier and Saviour of mankind. To-day having, as it were, chanted a solo in honor of each divine person, she bids her children join one and all in a grand chorus of praise to the ever adorable Trinity.
That you may the more readily lend your voices to swell the chorus of praise, I will ask each of you to consider briefly, first, What is the Blessed Trinity? second, What has the Blessed Trinity done for me? third, What am I bound to do in return? In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.
