Father Son and Spirit

The texts in the Roman Catholic Lectionary today present the solemnity of the most Holy Trinity. The commentary of Fr Larry Gillick SJ for today mentions “We are invited to believe in things we cannot understand totally, such as the Trinity. This is certainly a mystery, but we probe and ponder a “Three-in-Oneness” and live with this mystery while not grasping all that it is or means. We have the words of Jesus, the tradition of the Church and the early beliefs surrounding a relational God Whose love is infinite and not self-contained. We approach the Eucharistic Table a bit challenged in mind and confounded, but still confident. God has come out of mystery into history in just the right amount. Faith while being stumped is our loving response to a God Who so loved and loves this world” The text from Exodus recalls the experience of Moses encounter with God on Mount Sinai. The “Unprogrammed Worship” which concludes this encounter as Moses bows before the steadfast love and faithfulness resonant in his human understanding is the type of “knowing” that prompts the canticle from the Book of Daniel praising God as exalted and glorified forever. The response of creature to Creator is the faith and trust in these words. Paul exhorts the people of Corinth to model Jesus the Son as they live in peace with one another through the grace of God experienced in the resonance of the indwelling Spirit with the Hoy Spirit. The passage from the Gospel of John, made visible in the public through professional sports on tv, (John 3:16 and sometimes as myname 3:16 [i.e. George 3:16] on the signs of those who have not researched the origin of the quote), is the action of the Holy Spirit, love relationship between Father and Son, to bring unconditional love and eternal life to the experience of humanity.
