+ Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity: One
God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This celebration is entirely the result of
God’s self-revelation! There is no way at all that mankind on his own could
ever have imagined, constructed or invented such a God – He is entirely beyond
our scope, and yet He is entirely and absolutely near, intimate, up close,
direct and personal! The infinity of his majesty, power and glory are found and
proved in the minuteness, the tininess and the complete unsuspectability of his
concreteness, his finiteness among us as demonstrated in creation, and in the
sending of his own Son to be a part of our world, for our salvation! This is
all very, very amazing – and yes, even awesome to the maximum.
And so we rejoice in the fact
today that Jesus, the Son, has revealed his Father, as our Father! We rejoice
that by his own merits of death on a cross and then resurrection from the dead
to an entirely new and difference experience of life: the “ontological leap”
that we all yearn for, was his; and now can be ours, by baptism and life in the
Mystical Body of Christ: the Church. We rejoice that Son and Father have sent the
Holy Spirit of Joy, of Love, of Truth and Life into the Church, into us, so
that we can “light the world” with the Fire of Divine Grace and Sanctifying
Presence.
Yes,
God the Father, so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone
who believe in him, who believes in his divinity and live their lives like they
believe it, may not perish but may have eternal life – on high with God
forever!
It interesting to note, as we
approach in a week’s time “Father’s Day” in our country, God is most Father by
showing MERCY to his children! Earthly fathers can be the same, they can be
most father to the extent that they 1) ask mercy from God for themselves, and
then 2) pass it on to their families – thus teaching them the most glorious and
God pleasing thing that can be taught to a family – which can then 3) penetrate
into society at large so that the world can be renewed as it is intended to be!
Glory
and praise to God forever!
Divine Unity in Blessed
Trinity! Amen!
