The Most The Most The Most The Most Holy TrinityHoly TrinityHoly TrinityHoly Trinity

Eternal Trinity...mystery deep as the sea, You could give me no greater gift than the gift of Yourself. For You are a fire ever burning and never consumed, which itself consumes all the selfish love that fills my being.

.. St. Catherine of Siena

Today, the Church celebrates the three Divine Persons in God.

The union of the three Divine Persons is really impossible to

imagine. We must be willing to approach this union in a manner

consistent with our human condition. We are all called to become

holy, but we must rely primarily on God’s grace, not our own

human effort, to love divinely. Just as the love of the three

Divine Persons overflows into the whole human family,

may our love resemble the Trinity, and overflow into

the hearts of those we encounter each day.

Our Lord calls us to love one another and be united together as purely and perfectly as possible. It is only in God’s image and likeness that we ought to find love and honor in all.
