THE MOST HOLY TRINITY (Solemnity)
The Church today solemnises the feast the Most Holy Trinity - one of the fundamental doctrine of Christianity and the mystery of faith. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church we read, “There is one God, who has three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each Person is God, yet there is still only one God” (CCC Nos. 234, 253, 256). The Father created the world, the Son redeemed the world and the Holy Spirit sanctifies the world is the crux of the three readings today. Three persons but one God: a perfect unity in all activity right from creation to redemption and sanctification as well. In the Catholic Church we begin and end all thing in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
One of the lesson that we can draw from the celebration of this feast for our Christian living is that the unity that exists between the Father, Son and the Spirit should be replicated in our Christian relationships. Our families should be modeled after the unity of the triune God witnessing to the truth: three person one God. May the Holy Spirit lead us to this truth. Let our mind and heart resonate with the prayer: “Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, Amen”
