The Most Holy Trinity
"The Spirit of truth... will take from what is mine and declare it to you." Jesus says in today's Gospel that the Spirit declares something to US. We actually have a kind of share in the blessed life of the Trinity through this spiritual dec-laration. In particular, God gives us the gift of his truth. Traditionally, we say that God--the Blessed Trinity--is the source of all truth, beauty, and goodness. Today's reading reminds us that truth exists, that it comes from God, and that we can know it, hear it, and live according to it. "But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth." This is so important to remember in today's cultural climate. These days, the very idea of truth is a touchy sub-ject. Because there is so much focus on tolerance and not offending anyone, we tend to shy away from discussions about "absolute" truth. Instead, we hear a lot of talk about "what's true for me" or "what's true for you." Too often we get confused about how to respect others' differing beliefs while still maintaining our own. Instead of embracing the fact that there is real truth--like, for example, the truth that God became man and was born of Mary--it is more popu-lar to refer to "beliefs" and "traditions" and "practices," emphasizing that these things differ among people. Yes, those things differ. But truth does not change. Either Jesus is God, or he isn't. Either his claims were true or they weren't. It's not a matter of personal opinion. The Holy Spirit helps to convince us of what is really right. But we needn't fear that this will lead us to be intolerant. It is this same Spirit within us that brings the fruits of love, peace, patience, kind-ness, and generosity.
La Santísima Trinidad
Con la solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad entramos a la segunda parte, la más grande, del tiempo ordinario. Pero antes de entrar a la normalidad de la liturgia del tiempo ordinario hay este domingo dedicado a la Santísima Trinidad. El concepto de la Trinidad es un misterio muy difícil de descifrar, pero la fe nos ayuda a comprender su dinamismo salvador. Para hablar de la Trinidad debemos de comenzar tomando la figura de Jesucristo. Y tal como sus discípulos lo vivieron en su tiempo al escuchar las enseñanzas de Jesús basadas en Dios Padre y Dios Espíritu Santo, es que po-dremos por lo menos ver y maravillarnos la grandeza del misterio de Dios. Comenzamos la Eucaristía, en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, lo mismo hacemos en casa al dar la bendición a nuestros hijos, al bendecir los alimentos y al comenzar nuestras labores diarias. ¿Somos conscientes al santiguarnos que afirmamos nuestra fe en la Trinidad? ¿Lo hacemos solo por costumbre? ¿Tú cuándo te santiguas? Al santiguarnos, debemos saber que este sen-cillo acto de fe en la Santísima Trinidad nos compromete no solo a creer en ella sino que debemos vivir de acuerdo a lo enseñado por Jesucristo. Las lecturas de hoy nos explican de diferente manera la perspectiva trinitaria: "Por media-ción de nuestro Señor Jesucristo" (Rom 5, 1). Porque "Dios ha infundido su amor en nuestros corazones por medio del Espíritu Santo, que él mismo nos ha dado" (Rom 5, 5). ¡Gloria a Dios Padre, a Dios Hijo y a Dios Espíritu Santo! Como era en el principio, ahora y siempre, por los siglos de los siglos, amén.

Sharing the Gospel When you are choosing what to do, the Holy Spirit will help you make a good decision. If you are
tempted to do wrong, the Holy Spirit will make you stronger, more powerful, and wiser than you
could ever imagine. The Spirit will get you out of a bad situation. With help, you will say, "No," to
evil ways and "Yes," to the will of God, your heavenly Father. The disciples learned a lot from Je-
sus, but he knew they still needed to learn more. That's why Jesus asked God the Father to send
the Holy Spirit to his friends. Jesus knew that the Holy Spirit would stay with them, to teach
them everything Jesus wanted them to know.
Prayer Dear God, I want the Holy Spirit to teach me more about Jesus, too.
Something to Draw Draw a picture of a large triangle. Inside of it, write these words: Father, Son, Spirit.
Mission for the Week As you read a Bible story tonight before bed, ask the Holy Spirit
to teach you what Jesus wants you to learn.
