Trinity Sunday


Short Reflection for the Trinity Sunday (C)

Readings: Proverbs 8: 22-31; Romans 5: 1-5; John 16: 12-15

Selected Passage: “The Spirit of truth will guide you to all truth. He will not speak what he hears. And will declare to you the things that are coming.” (John 16: 13-14)

Meditation: We begin to understand the one Triune God through our listening to the Spirit and the testimony of Jesus himself.  The Spirit reveals to us all truth.

Where God is understood as absolute power, there is no need for there to be more than one person, for power can be exercised quite well by one person; but if God is understood as love and compassion, then it cannot be this way.  The life of the Trinity is a mystery of relation. This means that the divine persons do not “have” relations, but rather “are” relations.

‘In knowing the Father (The Lover), the Son (the Beloved) and the Spirit (love), we catch a glimpse that, in his innermost being, God is a dialogue, a life of love among the three Persons. This is the originality of the Christian conception of God, and it is here that man finds the true explanation of himself. Man feels an irrepressible yearning for community, solidarity and dialogue; he needs it to live and grow, he needs it more than the air. But it is only in the light of the Trinity that this finding acquires an unexpected depth: we are meant to meet, to dialogue and to love, because we are "image of God", and God is, in fact - as far as we are given to understand - a community of love.’ (Mons. Francesco Follo)
