The Catholic Calendar for Sunday, May 26, 2002 The Most Holy Trinity Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word: Exodus 34:4-6,8-9 Daniel 3:52-56 2 Corinthians 13:11-13 John 3:16-18 A reflection on today's Scripture: In a certain sense, many Christians today seem to take the Holy Trinity for granted. Today's scripture alludes to the Jews learning about the mighty Lord our God when Moses went up Mount Sinai. Many hundreds of years pass until the Messiah appears and explains that there is even more to believe: God's only Son: Jesus, plus the very animus, the spirit of God the Father: the Holy Spirit. God and the intimate construction of his triune nature will always be a mystery for us mere mortals. Since we are privy to practically all other knowledge in the universe, we are boggled and stumped by the concept and the reality of the Trinity. Yet, we are asked to believe in faith! Again and again throughout his lifetime, Jesus referred to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. If we who are baptized are to call ourselves "Christians", then we must truly have faith and believe. Belief also means to learn scripture and to apply its truths to our lives, turning from sin and embracing virtue. Let us stop first and examine ourselves the next time we are tempted to gossip or to choose self over the needs of others. - Joachim + O Lord, our God, may your unremitting light illumine every dark corner of our hearts that all pride and pretense be exposed and eradicated as we see ourselves as You see us.
