We Live by the Love of the Most Holy Trinity
Dear Sisters
and Brothers in Christ,
This Sunday
we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. We are taught of the mystery of the God Who
is One but Who has three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the
Father is the first Divine Person Who introduced Himself through the creation
of the world, and in particular through the making of the human person to whom
He gave His breath of life in order that man may know Him, love Him and finally
share in His happy and ever-lasting life.
God the Son
came to the rescue of a hopeless humanity when evil consequences of sin have
almost destroyed God the Father’s works.
In order to restore the human race to its original dignity, the Son had
to lay down His own life as an act of loving obedience to the Father Whose
merciful heart was gravely offended by an ungrateful humanity.
God the Holy
Spirit was sent by the Father and the Son to guide the human race into the way
of salvation which can be found only in the Church founded by Christ Jesus, the
Son of God, our Lord and Savior.
The
Christian community owes the Most Holy Trinity a huge sea of gratitude.
We
Christians were born again to new life through water and the Holy Spirit in the
name of the Most Holy Trinity.
We are
forgiven our sins through the life sacrifice of the Son in the name of the Most
Holy Trinity.
We are
consecrated in religious life and in priestly ministry in the name of the Most
Holy Trinity.
We are
united in marriage life through the Sacrament of Matrimony in the name of the
Most Holy Trinity.
Our journey
on earth starts from the love of the Most Holy Trinity Who created us, saved us,
and made us holy, and will one day come to our heavenly home to see face to
face the three Divine Persons of the One God: the Father, the Son , and the
Holy Spirit. Amen.
