“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name if the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Matt.28:19- 20a
Trinity
This coming Sunday is Trinity Sunday, a day when we celebrate, not an historical event or a saint, but the doctrine of the three persons of the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. All are equally God, and they cannot be divided. This will be the last major feast day of the Christian year. We now have until Christmas to contemplate the mystery of the Holy Trinity. It has been said that a mystery is not a wall to run up against, but an ocean in which to swim. People tend to try to be like the gods they worship. In ancient days there were warrior gods, gods of pleasure, and vengeful and wrathful gods. But our God is a God of love, who was willing to become as we are so that we might become like him. The more we seek to understand God, the more we learn about ourselves, for we were all made in God’s image. Trinity is a good time to explore the eternal mystery of the Holy Trinity through prayer and thanksgiving within a community of love and sharing.
