GOSPEL MEDITATION Solemnity of The Most Holy Trinity Happy Trinity Sunday! In today's Gospel, we hear Jesus declare together all three Persons of the Trinity. "Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." When we speak of the Trinity, two different theological words are sometimes used: immanent and economic. The immanent Trinity is the life of the three Persons within themselves, the inner harmonious relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. We see this in the Gospels when Jesus speaks of his Father and promises to send the Holy Spirit. The term "economic" has its roots in the Greek word oikonomia, roughly meaning "household management." The economic Trinity is our threepersoned God's relationship with creation; it is creation and redemption and ongoing relationship with us. Made in the image and likeness of God, we are called to imitate God's immanence by giving and receiving love with one another in community. However, this is not limited only to those close to us, though that's where love often starts. We also imitate the economy of God when we go out, when we extend our love and care in a lifegiving way. "Go therefore?" Every believer is sent on mission. Every believer is invited to follow Jesus and the Apostles "to the nations," to the margins, to the people who require a little extra reach. This could be a distant relative, the residents of your local homeless shelter or even the forgotten neighbor next door! When we love well, we create something beautifula relationship, a holy moment, a foretaste of heaven. This Trinity Sunday, take some time to examine the relationships in your life. How well do you love those nearest to you? How well do you reach out to those farther away? How are you creating something beautiful? From Jan ENTERING THE MYSTERY Close your eyes and while making the Sign of the Cross, think of everything you have been, everything you are now, and everything you hope to be. All you have known and all you have felt, good or bad, in your life. Think of all the people you have known and loved and all those you have not loved, everyone who has come into your life and everyone you will meet. The mystery of the Trinity is in the love of the Father and the Son united by the Holy Spirit, everything you have just imagined inds a home in God. There, all creation is transformed into something more beautiful, wondrous, and lifegiving than we can imagine. Let us enter that mystery every time we mark ourselves with the cross of Christ. The Sign of the Cross is one of the most basic and sacred signs of our faith. Not only does it praise the Trinity, it also makes a powerful statement about who we are. Trinity Sunday gives us the chance to take a new look at how we express the Holy Trinity.

Follow Him Matthew 16:24 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God and join heirs with Christ Romans 8:1617 LIVE THE LITURGYINSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK The love relationship that exists among the Persons of the Holy Trinity is both intense and intimate. As beautiful as this teaching is, it demonstrates how human language really pales in trying to capture the essence of God. The Father brings us to the creative, powerful, yet gently meticulous part of God who has brought mountains and hills into being, as well as each of his children. Still the Father is more than this. The Son demonstrates the unconditional love of God illed with endless mercy and compassion. This love really understands the journey of the marginalized and the poor and has no use for created powers and structures that alienate and hurt people. But the Son is even more than this. The Holy Spirit is the breath of God who teaches wisdom and brings understanding, who governs the seasons and discerns the thoughts of human hearts. Yet the Holy Spirit is still more than this. We worship a God who is beyond and also intimately bonded to all that he has made, without whom nothing could be sustained in being.
