THEME: Our Deep Connection with the Triune God
 

Today’s Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity causes us to reflect on our core belief in the existence, unity, and unbreakable love of God.  However, we must reiterate that this paradoxical belief in One God revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is a relationship and community of persons with a common purpose, and not a mathematical problem or a puzzle for logical analysis.

The Psalmist reminds us that we are deeply tied to the relationship between these three autonomous persons, yet in communion with each other, for we were made a little lower than the angels and given dominion over God’s creation.  Hence, St Paul reminds us in today’s second reading that we were made righteous in Christ Jesus and granted access by faith into the mystery of God’s community.  
 

Thus, we must reconcile with our God the Father, who made known to us His wondrous mystery by sending into the world the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctification.  In this Mysterion, silence is golden, words are lost, faith is alive, and humility compels us to worship God, relearn the essence of true love, justice, equity, and peace.
 

Although we struggle to comprehend this dynamic love and unity, by faith we believe that the Father sent the Son into the world for our deliverance; that the Son has revealed the Father’s love and blessings; and that the Holy Spirit helps us to journey without fear, knowing that the Lord who is Transcendent and Immanent is with us. 
 

Therefore, we must acknowledge the grace upon which we stand and by which we are enabled to have a relationship with God’s Wisdom, present at the Creation of the world, who was incarnated, suffered and died to make us share in His life and love without reservation.  
 

Thus, the Wisdom of God prompts us to ponder the existence and power of our Transcendent God, and to give thanks to our God, who is Immanent and willing to enable us to relate with God our Father and to reveal Him in love, kindness, peace, forgiveness, and unity. Therefore, the work of the Trinity is ongoing in our hearts and minds, as well as in our world. We can participate in that work of love if our faith is constantly guided by the Holy Spirit, who continually renews our access to God and keeps alive our hope in the glory of God.
