Message from From Your Pastor
|
Brothers and sisters today we stand before the greatest mystery of our faith. One God in three Persons. The Most Holy Trinity is not an abstract idea, but the living God who loves us and dwells within us. The Scripture Readings Mother Church gives us today open a window into this mystery, showing us the Father's mercy, the Son's saving mission and the Holy Spirit's uniting presence. So, to speak, the Father Son and Holy Spirit is at the heart of our Catholic Faith.
|
In the Book of Exodus 34:4-9 we see God revealing himself as gracious and merciful, slow to anger and rich in steadfast love. this is the Father the creator, who calls His people into Covenant relationship. Saint Paul is clear in 2 Cor 13:11-13when he blesses the church with these words: the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit showing us three Divine persons work together in perfect unity for our salvation. And in John 3:16-18 we hear the Gospel's most profound truth: The Father so loved the World that He gave His only Son, not to condemn, but to save us and through the Holy Spirit we are brought into eternal life. Consequently, the Most Holy Trinity is not three gods, but One God in three Persons- distinct yet inseparable. the Father creates, The Son Redeems and the Holy Spirit sanctifies together in perfect love. This Divine Communion is the model for our own Christian living: unity without losing individuality, love that seeks the other and mission that flows from relationship.
|
|
As we celebrate the Most Holy Trinity, we are invited not merely to understand a doctrine but to enter into the life of the Creator Himself- worshipping the Father, following the son and walking with the Holy Spirit.
