18th May 2008 – THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
(Year A)
For many, the first lesson we
learn as Christians is to bless ourselves: “In the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit. Amen.” This sums up the feast we are celebrating today –
our faith in God being one in three persons. We could never have discovered
this on our own, and even after having been told, we still have little
understanding of how this can be. Our knowledge of the Trinity came from what
Jesus said and did while here on earth when he, carefully and gradually, made
known his relationship to God the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Trinity Sunday celebrates the
unbounded mystery of God who as Creator, Saviour and Sanctifier is a centre of
love, which overflows and touches the whole of creation. Love begins with the
Father who created us and cares so deeply about us that he sent his only Son
into the world as a brother who died for our sakes and is poured out into our
hearts by the Holy Spirit who sanctifies us. Their closeness is a model for the
relationships we must have as Christians for we are enveloped in that love and
challenged to give it expression in our community. This means relating to each
other in love, unity and harmony. As we go about our everyday activities we
sense something of that mystery of love working for us, affecting the core of
our lives and strengthening us in our weakness.
