Solemnity of the Holy Trinity
Romans 5:5
…and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
Father, Son and Spirit… one God, triumphant in Heaven.
And this is because of their relationship in love. And this same relationship is what he wants to share with us – love one another, serve each other and pray for each one.
Also, this same wonderful divine love invites every person to enter into fellowship with God, and share in a new humanity in the new creation. We are all created in His image, and so we must act with the same love that He has given us – full of compassion and mercy.
If God is one, we must also be one in body, mind and heart in worshipping, believing in and loving God. There must be no division in the Christian community because division is the opposite of what the mystery of the Trinity teaches us. For division is the work of the evil one.
The Trinity is the model of how relationship should go in our lives. It is the basis of family love, because God has lived as a family for all eternity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They trust one another, they take delight in each one’s love for the other, they demonstrate respect for each other, they cooperate at the most difficult levels, and they have allegiance to and gratitude for the love each one has for the other.
Share in the victory of love and peace with the Triune 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.
Let us pray +
O most holy Trinity, 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 +
O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
