O. Box 98, Portsmouth, IA 51565-0098 The mystery of the Holy Trinity – three, but One – reveals the importance of relationship. The intimate relationshipbetween Father, Son & Spirit is an essential part of God’s identity. From the beginning of time, God has been in relationship. God has never been alone.TODAY’S READINGS…marvel at how fortunate we are to be in a relationship with God. In the first reading, Moses enumerates all the wonderful things that God has done for them, from creation to the rescue from Egypt, to the gift of the Promised Land. Saint Paul writes that we are God’s sons and daughters by adoption. Finally, in the last line of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples, “I am with you always, until the end of the age.”QUESTION OF THE WEEK….What can I do, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to transform my family, my community, the world? 712-743-2625 (Phone) or hankhu@StMaryPortsmouth.Hank Hughes, parish secretary (office hours: M–F–10am–6pm) Prayer Line Contacts: Peg Petsche–743-3652/Arlene Pauley–743-2241 Holy Communion and/or visitCall Fr.
