Today we celebrate the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit, “who are all equally God, and cannot be divided” (Pope Francis).
Jesus’ words to His disciples in today’s Gospel (Jn 16:12-15) apply to us also: “…when the Spirit of truth comes he will lead you to the complete truth…”
On Trinity Sunday 2014, Pope Francis reminded us that love is at the heart of the Trinity and that “the Eucharist is like the ‘burning bush’ in which the Trinity humbly dwells and communicates itself”. And in 2015 he highlighted the fact that this solemnity renews in us “our own mission to live in communion with God and with each other… We are not called to live without the other, above or against the other, but with the other, for the other and in the other… The Holy Spirit guides us towards full knowledge of Christ’s teachings. Jesus came to the world to acquaint us with the Father…Everything, in Christian life, revolves around the mystery of the Trinity and is fulfilled in this infinite mystery. Let us look, therefore, to keep high the ‘tone’ of our life, reminding ourselves to what end, for what glory we exist, work, struggle, suffer; and to which immense prize we are called [to have].”
