Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity (June 12, 2022)

On this the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, we are reminded of the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one from another, yet one in substance.
Out of love for humanity, the Father not only sent the Son into our human condition through the Incarnation and into God-forsakenness as a friend of sinners, but to the furthest limit of God-forsakenness; Christ Jesus is sent into what frightens mankind most: death. Why? In order to bring Divine Light into those places.
God invades death, suffering, and sin in Christ to illumine them and thereby offer us the possibility of divinization, even when we have wandered far from God. This is the ultimate pro-life message, because God wants to share His Triune life with us.
