Scripture Reflections for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
Year C, Lectionary 166
The mystery of the Holy Trinity is an invitation to enter into a relationship with God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. When we enter into communion with God our mission is to spread this bond with the world. When we remain with God, God can remain with us until the end of age.

“when you see wisdom personified in the Old Testament, who is it referring to? Who is this other divine agent? Well, ancient Church Fathers would say it's the son, right. It's Christ the wisdom of God.”
“Is it not Wisdom who plays in the sandboxes with our children when generosity is taught, forgiveness received and justice rewarded?”
“our transcendent God has chosen to reveal himself as both creator and redeemer and so our hearts are filled with wonder, awe, enchantment, astonishment, delight and joy”
“So let us take this Sunday to remind ourselves we are the hands of the Divine and we can shape a future driven by a hope that the divine truths, that were too vast to be realized in our realities, they will be able to grow in time and grow truly unbounded into eternity”
“The Trinity is not something we can completely understand, it is someone we are invited to know and it is someone who invites us into a relationship”
“will we continue to hold on to those trivial, sometimes crazy, insignificant things that tear us apart as opposed to coming together as family?”
“It is so painful to see how a doctrine of self-giving love and radical interdependence could be used to dehumanize. Even between Christians...sowing seeds of disconnection and self-doubt. But do you really understand the Trinity and who can say, 'yes'? Here's the thing, it's a mystery.”
“Why do we invest much in trying to understand God? This is important because we are created in the image and likeness of God and so the more we understand about God, the more we know about God, the more we realize who we are supposed to be as Christians.”
“Find out what your gift is and do it. Some of us are trying so hard to do somebody else's ministry. Do your ministry.”
