Trinity and the Trials as Gift

The Roman Catholic Lectionary today contains the texts for Trinity Sunday. The mystical, transformative, imminent and transcendent Divine is a mystery within which humanity exists and longs to be knowledgeable of. The Father in the Divine is associated with Creation and the Wisdom which is for all time. The Son, imminent through the WORD becoming flesh is the guide proclaimed by Paul to the Romans for life as a Christian. The Presence is evidenced in the sufferings that are lived as gifts of the Divine. John’s Gospel relates Jesus reassurance that the Spirit, indwelling in humanity will be the connection to the understanding of Father Son and the delight of the Divine in humanity which is gifted as the on going Presence as His Body in the universe. Larry Gillick, S.J. at the Deglman Center for Ignatian Spirituality is caught in the sense of Trinity today.
