May 31, 2015: Most Holy Trinity Sunday

After the weeks of focusing on the Paschal Mystery through the lens of Lent, the Triduum, and Easter seasons, we have the opportunity to take stock of what it means in our lives on this feast of the Most Holy Trinity.

The Bible never uses the word "Trinity", and in many ways, the Trinity is a mystery.  But just as we can't see the wind but feel its effects, so we know the effects of the Trinity's workings in our lives.

The readings give us opportunity to see how the Trinity has been at work:  God rescued and claimed the Hebrews as His own Chosen people.  The Spirit moves in us to cry out "Abba, Father", as God's children, as St. Paul writes in the 2nd reading from Romans.  And Jesus, in full power, grants His apostles the mission to disciple all nations and baptize them with the Trinitarian formula, promising His presence always.

God, in Trinity, indeed works powerfully to enable us to be His presence on Earth and do His work.
