Spiritual Reflection from
St. David Parish
Today we celebrate the Feast of the Most Blessed Holy Trinity. This is one of the hardest feast days to preach or write about. It is difficult because we can’t fully grasp that our God never had a beginning and never has an end. No one created Him. He always was and always will be. It’s difficult because this God of ours is one God in three Divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. They are one God, and no Divine Person is...Click HERE to continue reading Fr. Windle's reflection.
We will pray the
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel after every mass.
Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
