COUNSEL

Solemnity of the Holy Trinity

Acts 2:24
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”

There are websites that speak against Trinity. I really haven’t understood their position because their explanation is too scientific to me. But I grew up believing in the Trinity – “one God, three persons”. And with the gift of counsel or right judgment, I know, deep in my heart, that I believe the right thing, so I choose to do what is right.

A person with right judgment avoids sin and lives out the values taught by Jesus. The gift of truth that allows the person to respond prudently, and happily to believe our Christ the Lord. Hopefully, I would learn more about my faith and builds on my current wisdom and understanding about the word of God. And through counsel, may I can finally speak without fear in defense of the Christian Faith.

And this is the truth: The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons. The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: “The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is by nature one God”.

This sharing in the life of the Trinity is meant to culminate in heaven, where we will see the three Persons - face to face, united to them in unspeakable love.

O most holy Trinity, Almighty God, we adore You, Who give life and vigor to every creature and Who shed light eternal where there is darkness. We offer You our hearts, our souls, and our whole being, today and on the days to come, that we may offer perfect praise and love to your glorious Name. Amen +

Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be His own.
