THE MOST HOLY TRINITY May 22, 2016

The Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity should be the root and center of our entire spiritual life. St. Paul’s letter to the Romans (5:1-5), which is the second reading this Sunday, brings out very clearly the doctrine of the Trinity. That there are three Persons in the one God, each one infinite in power, in glory, in wisdom, is a fact we accept because the Triune God has revealed it to us. No intelligent Christian can even think of questioning this truth once he or she admits its existence has been revealed by God “who cannot deceive or be deceived.” The human mind is finite and limited; it cannot even begin to grasp or study the infinite, much less deny anything the Infinite tells us of itself. As Christians, and as Catholics in particular, we accept without question that there are three Persons in the One God and we bow down in humble adoration before them. But there is another mystery in the Blessed Trinity which can and should cause us wonder and amazement. It is the mystery of this Triune God’s love for us. Paul’s words show us the three divine Persons cooperating on our behalf. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit have each a part in the work of enabling us, finite, fragile and fickle creatures, to share in their infinite happiness. Let us thank, from our hearts, the three divine Persons for all they have done and continue to do for us. Let us resolve to make ourselves less unworthy of their divine love, by doing what they ask of us. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. …
