SUNDAY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY…

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. Our focus is on who God is inwardly, what His identity is. And we can answer, God is Trinity: three persons in one God, where each has the same dignity and nature, but their mission is distinct.

The mission of the Father is to be Creator, the mission of the Son is to be Redeemer, and that of the Holy Spirit is to be Sanctifier.

None of the persons of the Most Holy Trinity is more important than the others; they form an indivisible unity.

God is community, He is family; that is why we affirm that God is love. Because love only exists when there is a being with whom to share it.

Everything that springs from God is sharing in love. That is why today's Gospel reminds us that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that we might have abundant life. Love leads us to seek the good of others.

From everything we've mentioned, we must consider that if we have been created in the image and likeness of God, we also carry within us those traits of love; and we are invited to live in that common unity, solidarity, and empathy.

Unfortunately, contrary to what God is, today we move in an individualistic, selfish world that only seeks itself.

 Today we each have our own cell phone, we want our own television, we even want our own truth.

Sometimes it is said, "I believe in God, but I don't believe in the Church"; faith has also been affected by this individualistic factor.

But let us remember that by being part of the Catholic Church, we recognize that God has given us faith through a community, He began the Church with a group of disciples, and we are invited to live that communal dimension of our faith. When we live our faith in community, we motivate one another, share, and discover what unites us. It also empowers us to ensure that our personal projects not only satisfy ourselves but also include others.

When we live in community, when we live in God's love, we are truly giving glory to God. This should be the purpose of everything, for every son and daughter of God.

This feast of the Holy Trinity also invites us to grow in that intimate relationship with the three divine persons. The Church gives us proof of this in every celebration, in every prayer. We address God the Father through his Son, Jesus Christ, guided by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Let us ask Mary Most Holy, full of grace, to help us live in love and for love; that our communities and our families may be a reflection of the Holy Trinity. Amen.
