It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom.
It is healthy to be reminded
that the strongest might weaken
and the wisest might err.

Mohandas K. Gandhi
Whoever undertakes to set himself up
as a judge of Truth and Knowledge
is shipwrecked
by the laughter of the gods.

including the American Water Works Association and made numerous cutting-edge
contributions to his industry. One of his projects, "Water Conserve

Our speaker at Rotary -
Laura Shepard Churchley
Laura
Shepard Churchley was introduced by Linda Lovin.
Laura was the 372nd American to fly
into space. Her dad was the first.
Laura
followed in her father's footsteps — and suborbital
flight trajectory — by
launching
on board Blue Origin's New Shepard.
She
is holding a collapsible golf club like the one her father,
Alan
Shepard, used to hit a golf ball on the moon (Apollo 14).
She
emphasized the more than 2,000 inventions that we enjoy
today
as a result of NASA’s space program.
Just
Google NASA spinoffs
to see some of them.
Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man,
and then I will show you a man
that can comprehend the triune God!

1Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through
whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in
our hope of sharing the glory of God. 3And not only that, but we also
boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4and
endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5and
hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot
bear them now. 13 When
the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will
not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to
you the things that are to come. 14 He
will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15All
that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is
mine and declare it to you.

THE WORD:
As Ordinary Time resumes, two “solemnities of the Lord” are
celebrated on the next two Sundays. Today’s celebration of the Trinity,
originating in France in the eighth century and adopted by the universal Church
in 1334, focuses on the essence of our faith: the revelation of God as Creator,
the climax of his creation in Jesus the Redeemer, the fullness of the love of
God poured out upon us in the Sustainer Spirit.
In his final words to his disciples at the Last Supper, Jesus
promises to send the “Spirit of truth [to] guide you to all truth.” The
Son has revealed the Father to the Church; the Spirit of truth and wisdom keeps
that revelation alive in the Church.
First Reading Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31
1Does not
wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? 2On the heights, beside the way, at
the crossroads she takes her stand; 3beside the
gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out:4"To you, O people, I call, and
my cry is to all that live.
22The LORD created me at the beginning
of his work, the first of his acts of long ago. 23Ages ago I
was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. 24When there were no depths I was
brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. 25Before the mountains had been
shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth-26when he had
not yet made earth and fields, or the world's first bits of soil. 27When he established the heavens, I
was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, 28when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep, 29when he
assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his
command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 30then I was beside him, like a master
worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, 31rejoicing in his inhabited world and
delighting in the human race.
Psalm 8:1-9
1O LORD, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your name in
all the earth!
You
have set your glory above the heavens.
2Out of the mouths of babes and infants
you
have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
to silence the enemy and the
avenger.
3When I look at your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that
you have established;
4what are human beings that
you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for
them?
5Yet you have made them a
little lower than God,
and crowned them with glory
and honor.
6You have given them dominion
over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under
their feet,
7all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the
field,
8the birds of the air, and the
fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the
paths of the seas.
9O LORD, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your name in
all the earth!

the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will

Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and
