Brothers and sisters in
Christ, Today Church celebrates Trinity Sunday. It’s a great mystery. The
mystery of the Holy Trinity revolves around the mystery of love between the
three Persons in one God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
And that love is poured out
to humanity, who is made in the image of God, so that we can love one another
with the love of God who is Trinity.
As we heard Jesus said in
the gospel: God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so that
everyone who believes in Him may not be lost but may have eternal life.
There are three profound
moments when the love of God entered into the world, and these are: At
Bethlehem when God was with us; At Calvary when God was for us; At Pentecost
when God is in us.
The Trinity is truly three
Persons (as we say): Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are intimately related
to Each Other. Each is one with the Other.
Why is this feast kept now,
a week after Pentecost? At Christmas and Easter, it is the mission of Jesus
that occupies us. At Pentecost, it is the sending of the Holy Spirit. So, each
year, we are reminded of God’s self-disclosure, ‘your wondrous mystery’ as the
Collect calls it. And today, in a sense, we stand back. We try to register what
has truly been happening in this whole sequence of events.
God is
love. There are Three Persons in the Trinity, the Father the Son and the Holy
Spirit. Together they represent the fullness of love. The Father loves the Son,
the Son loves the Father. The Holy Spirit is their love for each other.
We are
made in the image of a triune God. God the Father, who created us, his Son who
saved us, and the Holy Spirit who continues to guide us. Our lives should
reflect the Trinity. We should be always creative like the Father,
compassionate like his Son, and dispose our talents in the service of others
like the Holy Spirit.
God bless
you all and have a blessed week,
