Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity (June 4, 2023)

Ex 34.4b-6, 8-9; 2 Cor 13.11-13; Jn 3.16-18

  • In his affectionate words of farewell, St. Paul the Apostle leaves us with one of the earliest and clearest expressions of faith in the Blessed Trinity found in the New Testament and he prays for the granting of all kinds of supernatural gifts.

  • The greatest gift, however, is that of the indwelling of the Blessed Trinity. By this we know that God not only works on us from the outside, but He chooses to make His home within us. God shows us the value of humanity. For this reason we must also recognize the sacredness of human life. No person is dispensable, whether unborn or aged, healthy or disabled. God wants to make His home in each person.

  • Out of love, the Father sent the Son, not only into our human condition through the Incarnation, not only to be a friend of sinners, but even to the darkest depths, to suffer the fate of sinners: death. Why? In order to bring to those places the divine light.

  • God invades death, suffering, and sin in Christ to illumine them and thereby offer us the possibility of divinization, even when we’ve wandered far from God. This is the ultimate pro-life message, because God wants to share His Triune life with us.
