The Most Holy Trinity
The Most Holy Trinity
(Prov. 8: 22-31/Rom. 5: 1-5/Jn. 16: 12-16)
Last week, we celebrated the gift of the Holy Spirit to the church. This week’s scriptures continue to explore the gift of the Holy Spirit, but this time they focus on how the gift of the Holy Spirit blinds the church to God in a holy communion of love.
We did not know much about the Holy Trinity Mystery until Jesus Christ became a human person in his incarnation. He revealed to us many places and he teaches us in the Bible that God is not one, but three persons; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, working different functions. They are equal, one Living God.
In John’s Gospel we hear of the closeness of the Father and the Son. Jesus says: “Everything the Father has is mine,” and that the Spirit will pass on what it has to us. The Letter to the Romans helps us realize what it is that we have received. The holy love that is shared between Father and Son, “has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.” (Rom. 5:5) Not only does our God “delight in the human race” (Proverbs 8:3), care for us, and crown us with glory and honor (Psalm 8:6), through the gift of the Spirit God binds us in a holy communion to be eternal love of the Holy Trinity.
The Holy Trinity is the source of God’s life in us. Like the sun gives energy and strength; the Trinity God gives us is inner power and strength. The sun gives light; the Holy Trinity lights the mind and heart of man. The sun produces heat; the Holy Trinity pours forth spiritual heat, love for God and man. The sun helps resist germs and infection; the Holy Trinity drives off spiritual germs. The sun cheers and brightens the world around us; the Trinity cheers the hearts of man.
We need the Holy Trinity to lead us through this maze of message to hear what God has to say: God spoke to us in a significant way through his Son Jesus Christ. God continues to speak to us through his Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit to be with us. The Holy Spirit is our supreme guide to discover the truth about life and the way we should live it.
We should make our faith in God a matter of reality that will through our largeness of spirit and oneness in love bring others to a meaningful faith in our Triune God.
