TRINITY SUNDAY
Trinity Sunday, officially called “The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity”, is one of the few celebrations of the Christian Year that commemorates a reality and doctrine rather than a person or event. On Trinity Sunday we remember and honor the eternal God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The feast was introduced in the ninth century and was only inserted in the general calendar of the Church in the fourteenth Century by Pope John XXII. However, the Church has been celebrating the Trinity in its life and worship since the earliest days of the Church.
The fundamental dogma, on which everything in Christianity is based, is that of the Blessed Trinity in whose name all Christians are baptized.
The Church teaches us that although there is only one God, yet, somehow, there are three Persons in God. We do not speak of three Gods, but only one God. They have the same nature, substance, and being.
Even though the Three Persons are One God, yet they are distinct: for the Father has no origin, He came from no one, but the Son is begotten, He comes from the Father alone. The Holy Spirit comes or pro-ceeds from both the Father and the Son. These different relations of origin tell us there are three distinct Persons, who have one and the same divine nature.
We came to know this immense mystery be-cause Christ revealed it to us. Before ascending into heaven he told his disciples to “Go teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”. Also they are three distinct Persons for at the Last Supper He told them He “came forth from the Father” and again He told them before His ascension, that He will send the Paraclete to them.
The Trinity is a mystery; the most profound of all mysteries. By mystery the Church does not mean a riddle, but rather a reality above our human comprehen-sion that we may begin to grasp, but ultimately must know through worship, symbol, and faith.
No mortal can fathom this Divine Mystery and only in heaven shall we properly understand what it means, in union with Christ, to share as children in the very life of God.
***************************** Blessed be God the Father who has created us, Blessed be God the Son who has redeemed us,
Blessed be God the Holy Spirit who sanctifies us, Blessed be the Holy & Undivided Trinity
now and forever! Amen.

Sunday Scripture Reflections Reading 1 Proverbs 8:22-31 In this reading from Proverbs, God's Wisdom is pictured as a separate being who was with God at the creation. Wisdom works with God as a "craftsman" and "plays" with God's people on earth. For the Israelites, Wisdom was first a quality of God. Then they came to see wisdom as God's companion. Centuries later, Christians, looking back at the Old Testament for signs of Jesus, saw him as the Wis-dom of God. This is part of the gradual and sometimes mysterious way that God is revealed to us.
Reading 2 Romans 5:1-5 How does our faith in Jesus change us? Our letter today lists several ways. Through Jesus, we grow in harmony with God and receive the grace to live for God's reign. We have the virtue of hope, which is like a candle that is not blown out by the cold wind of hard times. And we have the Spirit living in our hearts, keeping God's love alive in us.
Gospel John 16:12-15 Today's gospel continues with Jesus' advice and instructions to the disciples at the Last Supper. He promises that the Spirit will be there to guide his followers to the truth. The Spirit will speak in Jesus' name, just as Jesus speaks in the Father's name. Each of these three Persons in one God belongs to the other. We call this mystery of God's identity the Blessed Trinity.
Domingo Escritura Reflexions
.Primera lectura Proverbios 8:22-31 En esta lectura de Proverbios, la sabiduría de Dios es presentada como un ser separado que está con Dios en la creación. La sabiduría trabaja como un "alfarero" y "juega" con el pueblo de Dios en la tierra. Para los israelitas, la sabiduría era la primera cualidad de Dios. Ellos llegaron a ver la sabiduría como la compasión de Dios. Años más tarde, los cristianos buscaron sig-nos de Jesús en el Antiguo Testamento, y lo vieron como la sabiduría de Dios. Esta es parte de la gra-dual y algunas veces misteriosa forma en que Dios se nos revela.
Segunda lectura Romanos 5:1-5
¿Cómo no cambia nuestra fe en Jesús? Nuestra carta de hoy nos hace una lista. Por medio de Jesús crecemos en armonía con Dios y recibimos la gracia de vivir para el reino de Dios. Tenemos la virtud de la esperanza que es como una vela encendida aun en tiempos difíciles. Tenemos el Espíritu viviendo en nuestros corazones, manteniendo el amor de Dios vivo en nosotros.
Evangelio Juan 16:12-15 En el evangelio de hoy Jesús sigue aconse-jando y dando instrucciones a los discípulos. El promete que el Espíritu vendrá para guiar a sus seguidores hacia la verdad. El Espíritu hablará en nombre de Jesús, como Jesús habla en nombre de su padre. Cada una de estas tres Personas en Dios están contenidas en ellas. Llamamos a este misterio de la identidad de Dios Santísima Trinidad.
