The Most Holy Trinity and Undivided Unity

Ex. 34:4-6.8-9, 2 Cor. 13:11-13, Jn 3:16-18. On this Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity; that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are equally and eternally one true God. It is the central mystery of the Christian faith and life. The baptismal formula given to us in the Gospel by Christ is Trinitarian. Thus, we are baptised into the Trinitarian life of love, communion, and unit. The Church receives this mandate and acts according to the Spirit’s direction. The unity of the Trinity is the most perfect paradigm for every human family and community. This unity invites us to give up dehumanising racial difference and inhuman cultural affiliations.  The Spirit of love calls us to appreciate and promote our oneness in God, despite our various religious and societal inclinations.  

The longing of Moses as recounted by today’s first reading, is an expression of everyone’s dream: to see God, to know the most intimate and profound secrets of His person. To respond to this desire, God reveals Himself as gracious, filled with compassion, a patient, merciful and faithful Lord, who shows loving kindness to “thousand” generation. As recommended by the Apostle in the second reading, the community where the brothers and sisters are happy, encourage each other and cultivate the same feelings tends toward perfection. They live together in peace and are united to the God of love. This is the image of the life and beatitude of the Trinit

May the undivided unity of the Trinity be our guide as we foster communion as true children of the One God! Amen!! Happy Sunday!
