“Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; to God who is, who was, and who is to come.” (Revelation 1:8)

The major theme for this Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity focuses on our Christian doctrine of the Divine Trinity or the three persons of God: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Church teaches us this dogma that there is only one God in three divine persons. The Father is not more God than the Son, neither is the Son more God than the Holy Spirit. They are all equally God, but there is only one God. No human being can fully understand this sublime truth. But we all need to submit humbly ourselves and say: “Lord, I believe in You despite my limited understanding, please illumine my mind and help my weak faith.”

All three divine Persons contribute to and share in the work of redemption. The Father calls us to the faith and sends His Son to us, for "God so loved the world as to give His only-begotten Son" (John 3:16). The Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, becomes man, dies for us, redeems us and makes us children of God. He remains the liturgist par excellence to whom we are united in all sacred functions. After Christ's ascension, God sends the Holy Spirit, who becomes our Teacher, Advocate, Guide, and Consoler. We worship our Triune God who is the source and center of our being, and the reason and goal of our existence.

God does not want us holding a relationship of Transaction but Transformation. Therefore, Dynamic Christian disciples are those who (1) BELIEVE, (2) GROW, (3) SERVE, (4) LOVE and (5) LEAD others to Jesus. Today’s topic invites us to believe in the Divine Trinity and to practice the equality of the community of Perfect Unity of God in our lives to glorify God.  

How can we help each other affirm the Trinitarian God who is the source of our hope, courage, strength and final destination, abides in us, invites us to practice the Trinitarian relationship of love and unity, like the Father who is always full of love, the Son who is always faithful, and the Holy Spirit who is ever hopeful?   

Wishing everyone a blessed week in the Lord.
