From Fr. Jossy’s Desk:

MOST HOLY TRINITY Dear brothers and sisters it is the feast of the Most Holy Trinity. Now please remember we are crea-

tures speaking about the mystery of our Creator. We are simply scratching at the mystery with human lan-

guage. Wherever we live, our lives are full of beauty and mystery! Why? Because we are made in the image

and likeness of our God. But yet, we are always questioning “Why?” and “How can this be?” There is one

mystery in particular that is beyond all the rest. And that is the mystery we celebrate in today’s feast the mys-

tery of the Most Holy Trinity - three Persons in one God.

An example: we look at a rose, we look at its beauty - would we ever ask a rose “Why?” or “How?”

Just as a rose does not have a “Why,” neither does the Holy Trinity have an answer to our “Why?” or our

“How can this be?” The Holy Trinity simply exists as the foundation of all that is. When Moses asked what

God's name was, God responded, “I Am Who I Am!” And so we simply accept the mystery, and we thank God

for being God, and we find in this reality, he is the only real reason for lasting joy and hope!

Let us take a fresh look at the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, remembering that we are simply

creatures speaking about our creator. As Three Persons, Their work is that of Creator, Redeemer and Sancti-

fier. Althou- gh we attribute creation of all that is to God the Father, both the Eternal Word and the Holy Spirit

were always sharing in that stupendous event of creation. And all three Persons enjoyed it! In today’s first

reading from the Book of Proverbs we learn that God danced and played with delight at the results of the work

of creation. It is the very nature of God to rejoice and to love the creatures that sprang forth. All three Persons

in the One God have never stopped loving us, and delighting in who we are.

The second reading from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans we are assured, we are convinced that our

faith in our Lord Jesus Christ puts us in right relationship with God. That brings us a reason to hope through

patience in our afflictions. For patience leads to endurance, and endurance leads to fulfillment. "Hope does not

disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our human hearts through the Holy Spirit that

has been given to us." In the Gospel, Jesus reveals to His apostles and to us, the very intimate relationship that

He holds with both His Father and the Holy Spirit, reveling the God is a Trinity of Persons three in one. Jesus

urges His disciples to stop relying solely on His physical presence and to be prepared for their astounding new

role of life lived “in the Holy Spirit” that will expand their minds and their hearts to know “all truth.” The

Holy Trinity is not some distant truth or dry dogma but a living reality for you and I, we are the dwelling place

of God. Remember our Lord told us that he would come with Father and make their dwelling place in us.

As Catholics each Trinity Sunday, we gather and we only scratch the surface of this profound mystery

of our faith. It is enough for us to believe in and to cling to the great gifts of peace, unity, and love which is

our inheritance now, in the life of heaven. In gratitude and faith, let us deliberately begin and end every prayer

with ever greater faith and reverence: “In the name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy

Spirit. Amen.”

Mensaje del Padre Jossy: Santísima Trinidad

Queridos hermanos y hermanas, es la fiesta de la Santísima Trinidad. Ahora recuerden que somos cria-

turas que hablan sobre el misterio de nuestro Creador. Simplemente estamos rascando el misterio con el len-

guaje humano. ¡Dondequiera que vivamos, nuestras vidas están llenas de belleza y misterio! ¿Por qué? Porque

estamos hechos a imagen y semejanza de nuestro Dios. Pero aún así, siempre nos estamos preguntando "¿Por

qué?" Y "¿Cómo puede ser esto?" Hay un misterio en particular que está más allá del resto. Y ese es el miste-

rio que celebramos en la fiesta de hoy el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad: tres personas en un solo Dios.

Un ejemplo: miramos una rosa, miramos su belleza. ¿Alguna vez le preguntamos a una rosa "¿Por qué?" O

"¿Cómo?" Así como una rosa no tiene un "Por qué", ni la Santísima Trinidad tiene una respuesta a nuestro

"¿Por qué?" o nuestro "¿Cómo puede ser esto?" La Santísima Trinidad simplemente existe como la base de

todo lo que es. Cuando Moisés preguntó cuál era el nombre de Dios, Dios respondió: "¡Yo soy el que soy!".

Entonces, simplemente aceptamos el misterio, y damos gracias a Dios por ser Dios, y encontramos que en esta

realidad, él es la única razón real para que perdure. ¡Alegría y esperanza!

Echemos un vistazo fresco al Padre, al Hijo y al Espíritu Santo, recordando que simplemente somos

criaturas que hablan de nuestro creador. Como tres personas, su trabajo es el de creador, redentor y

santificador. Aunque atribuimos la creación de todo lo que es a Dios Padre, tanto la Palabra Eterna como el

Espíritu Santo siempre compartían ese estupendo acontecimiento de la creación. ¡Y las tres personas lo

disfrutaron! En la primera lectura de hoy del Libro de Proverbios, aprendemos que Dios bailó y jugó con

deleite en los resultados del trabajo de la creación. Es la naturaleza misma de Dios regocijarse y amar a las

criaturas que surgieron. Las tres Personas en el Único Dios nunca han dejado de amarnos y deleitarnos con lo

que somos.

La segunda lectura de la carta de San Pablo a los romanos nos asegura que estamos convencidos de

que nuestra fe en nuestro Señor Jesucristo nos pone en una relación correcta con Dios. Eso nos trae una razón

para esperar a través de la paciencia en nuestras aflicciones. Porque la paciencia conduce a la resistencia, y la

resistencia conduce a la realización. "La esperanza no decepciona, porque el amor de Dios se ha derramado en

nuestros corazones humanos a través del Espíritu Santo que se nos ha dado". En el Evangelio, Jesús revela a

sus apóstoles y a nosotros, la relación muy íntima que mantiene tanto con su Padre como con el Espíritu

Santo, que revela que Dios es una Trinidad de Personas tres en una. Jesús exhorta a sus discípulos a que dejen

de confiar únicamente en su presencia física y se preparen para su nuevo y sorprendente papel de vida vivido

"en el Espíritu Santo" que expandirá sus mentes y sus corazones para conocer "toda la verdad". La Santísima

Trinidad no es Una verdad lejana o un dogma seco, pero una realidad viva para ti y para mí, somos el lugar

donde reside Dios. Recuerden que nuestro Señor nos dijo que vendría con el Padre y que vivirían en nosotros.

Y así, como católicos cada domingo de la Trinidad, nos reunimos y solo arañamos la superficie de este

profundo misterio de nuestra fe. Es suficiente para nosotros creer y aferrarnos a los grandes dones de la paz, la

unidad y el amor que es nuestra herencia ahora, en la vida del cielo. Con gratitud y fe, comencemos y

terminemos deliberadamente cada oración con cada vez más fe y reverencia: “En el nombre del Padre, y del

Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. Amén”. Fr. Vattothu Jossy, CMI
