GOSPEL: John 16:12-15
The Holy Trinity is the Christian doctrine that holds that God is one, but with three co-eternal con-substantial persons; the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit as "one God in three divine Persons".
The solemnity of the Holy Trinity reminds us that, although we are called to be united, each one of us is unique. None should be deprived of his uniqueness. Therefore, as one united, “but not uniform people,” we must continue to work for the progress of God’s kingdom.
Just as each of the three divine persons, we must not be selfish or work for our personal gratifications. No member of the Trinity oppresses or takes advantage of the other. So, we must avoid manipulating, oppressing or suppressing other members of our families, communities, and church. We should learn to live in harmony with one another in spite of our individual differences and uniqueness. We must avoid treating other members unjustly as if they are not important or do not belong to the same family or community of God. For us as humans, conflicts are inevitable. However, when we confront them prayerfully as a united family, they help to strengthen our unity.
Finally, today we must learn from the three divine persons how to love and respect one another. This also means, complimenting and appreciating the efforts of one another. If we live in love (caritas), peace and harmony as the Most Holy Trinity, then the Holy Trinity will change and transform us. And then join the work of the Triune God in changing this world.
God Bless,
