Reflection

Trinity Sunday invites us to live in the presence of the Triune God within us: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The mystery of the Holy Trinity is one of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity and the greatest mystery of our Faith. The Three Persons in one God, is not explicitly spelt out in the Bible. Even the very word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible. But the doctrine of the Trinity underlies all major Christian feasts, including Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. All the official prayers of the Church, including the Holy Mass and the Sacraments, begin with an address to the Holy Trinity: “In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” We bless ourselves with the Sign of the Cross and we conclude our prayers glorifying the Holy Trinity. This day conveys the fundamental mystery that the Triune God reaches out to people in love, seeking the deepest communion with them.
