MAY 26 2013 THE MOST HOLY TRINITY (C-1)

Jn 16:12-15

Everything that the Father has is mine;

The Spirit will take from what is mine

and declare it to you. “

The Most Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. has been revealed

to us in various way. For God is love . God freely wills to communicate

the glory of his blessed life. God destined us in love to be his adopted sons

and to be conformed to the image of his own Son through the Holy Spirit.

CCC257

The Holy Trinity is the ineffable mystery of God. A Christian’s life is very

visibly marked with the Holy Trinity when we make the sign of the Cross:

In the name of the Father; and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”

In our families the first lesson as a child, we surely learn from our parents is

how to make the sign of the Cross. What a priest will probably do at our

own graveside is to make the sign of the Cross on our own dead body.

The Holy Trinity is beyond our understanding in this present life. Yet It is our

most precious and loving ultimate reality. We can grasp bits and pieces from

what Jesus said and did, revealing about the intimate secrets the inner life of

God as the Most Holy Trinity.

The most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries

of faith, the light that enlightens them. CCC234
