Scripture Reflection
Trinity Sunday
When we come to worship, we usually
make the sign of the cross. The words
that accompany this holy action, ‘‘In
the name of the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit,’’ remind us that there are three persons in
God. The feast of the Holy Trinity is a celebration of
the mystery of God as a family of love. We have not
been left in the dark in our struggle to attempt to
understand God. From what Jesus said and did
while on earth, we can grasp little pieces of the
innermost being of the mystery of God. Throughout
his life, Jesus was forever talking about God as his
Father, and he referred to himself as God’s only Son.
He explained also that his mission was to do the will
of the Father. Jesus introduces us to the Spirit whom
he talks about as being a real person, completely
different from himself and God the Father. The
Spirit’s job is to inspire people to continue in the
church the work begun by Jesus and draw everyone
into the love of God the Father.
This feast reminds us of a simple truth, which we
often forget – God’s plan is that we share in his life of
glory. By our baptism we are raised to a level at which
we become sharers in the family life of God. We are
born of God the Father, God the Son becomes our
brother, and the love of God is poured into our hearts
by the Holy Spirit. This revelation of his inner life of
three persons, in which we have a share, is one of
God’s greatest gifts to us and it is the model towards
which all of us should aim and strive.
Jesus reveals the mystery of the Trinity to us, not just
to let us know the truth about God, but also to know
the truth about ourselves – as to what is our origin,
where is our destiny and how we can arrive at that
final point. We only exist, and the world only exists,
because God gives life. He is the Father who looks
upon us as his children and is closer to us than we
are to ourselves. Everyday is a day to love the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit so we should strive to make the
Holy Trinity a more practical part of our lives. Love is
the binding force of the three persons of the Trinity;
so when we love we share in that community of love,
which is the living God.
This celebration of the abundance of God’s love is an
occasion for appreciating what God has done and
continues to do for us. It calls on us to respond to the
love of God, poured into our hearts by Christ and the
Holy Spirit, and invites us to look forward to the day
when we shall share in the glory of God, Father, Son
and Holy Spirit.
