More photographers in the family and she is only 7! Trinity LOVE!


Maria shared this great picture of David with is pet snail yesterday!  But wait til you see the pictures T took of the snail close up!  I am thrilled to have another budding photographer and she is only 7 years old!  I have my girls - all 3 and two with amazing cameras that I can now borrow from regularly... so there are many loving eyes recording our lives!  Add that to the thousands of pictures I take monthly and it is an avalanche which is burying me regularly in LIFE/LOVE/LIGHT unending!

Therese, I am in awe of this picture you took!  The colors and the textures and the lighting - It is a prize winner!  Did she lay it out or just snap this naturally?  It is wonderfully great!  It really helps that they are in the lush East coast and no longer in the desert Southwest, but I am very impressed to have the younger girls coming up in the ranks.  9 year old Mary also is winning awards with her great eye in 4H!

It has been a full morning already with early morning work with the cows, mass as a family with Ruth and Paul with their 5 and John.  Then carry forth the Eucharist over to Pat's mother's home complete with reading the readings, sharing the homily, prayers and Eucharist, followed by the hymn - Beautiful Savior!  Then wonderful egg bake thanks to RaTerra!
 Great-grandma grabbed ahold of Mary and held her close throughout the service we shared.  Mary has always loved her great-grandma and prayed for her diligently.
 A house full sharing and caring...

 Pat's mom with her arm around her Mary - sharing Jesus!
 Pat is so much like his mother in how he loves the little ones!  His arms are rarely empty, if he can help it.  Those big loving arms have held many babies over the years.  It brings so many smiles on those in church that watch him helping keep the little ones contained and contented. 
 The love of LIFE is so shared and lived out in these two - mother and son, who are open to and LOVE LIFE!  Much sharing today on The Feast of the Trinity about the LOVE relationship which the mystery of 3 in 1 - Father, Son and Holy Spirit!  The Catechism teaches - by sending his only Son and the Spirit of LOVE in the fullness of time.  God has revealed his innermost secret:  God himself is an eternal exchange of love, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and he has destined us to share in that exchange.  So wonderful to have this visual evidence of that LOVE of LIFE before us this day and always.
 Grandpa keeping Luke happy with some food while we pray and share our Faith/Family/Farm!
 Luke takes a bite from his grandpa, who loves him and cares for him and shares with him the life of the farm, the joy of family - being open to LIFE and raising LIGHTS, and the Faith which is first of all!
 The Communion antiphon for today: Since you are children of God, God has sent into your hearts the Spirit of the Son, the Spirit who cries out:  Abba, Father.
 "The Body of Christ." 

The words of Jesus to us today at the end of the Gospel- Matthew 28:20
All power in heaven and earth has been given to me.  Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of The Father, The Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.  And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.
We need to start doing this first of all in our domestic Church/home!

Jesus, we are into ordinary time again, yet how can the mystery of The Trinity ever be anything but the highest of Feast days?   The LOVE of the 3 in 1 is so evident in our openness to LIFE, raising LIGHTS in the LOVE of Faith we have with Jesus and His Bride, The Church!  We truly do cry out "Abba" "Daddy!" "Father" when we are loved and cared for with such tender loving care in the big powerful loving arms of a wonderful Father/grandfather/husband.  Jesus, we trust in you.  Amen and Hallelujah

Another stunning picture taken by 7 year old Therese!  I think that I will retire and just use the pictures taken by my family now.  Bless-bless, Barbara Luke
I am quite sure that my dad will be coming home today after his heart valve replacement on Thursday morning.  Amazing!

This man died in Aushwitz to save the life of a father with children!
