MOST HOLY TRINITY - SOLEMNITY
God chooses Israel to send the Promised One, His Son, Jesus; Jesus chooses the disciples to make everyone His disciples and the Holy Spirit chooses these disciples to help them choose God and God alone. This is the crux of all three readings today.
Choosing God demands love to hatred, forgiveness to revenge, selflessness to selfishness, humility to pride and meekness to arrogance. If we choose God, we precisely choose to boycott the allurements of the standards of the world. We will be suppressed, mocked, scoffed, humiliated and jeered by everyone who belong to the world.
Therefore choosing God is a challenge. Courage! The Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, the promised one of our Lord is with us to help us conquer the world with all its glitter and glamour and to tread in the path of our Lord Jesus Christ by choosing God again and again.
As the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, May our hearts recite this prayer throughout the day:
Thank you Father for choosing me
Thank you Jesus for sanctifying me
Thank you Holy Spirit for guiding me.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
