SOLEMNITY of the MOST HOLY TRINITY

Gospel Bullet Points (John 10:12-15)

• One priest wanting to express his feeling that it was impossible to preach about the mystery of the Trinity said: TODAY IS TRINITY SUNDAY, therefore, there will be no homily in this mass. The human mind can never fully comprehend the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. How can three persons in one God be equal in divinity but distinct in personality? It is not a correct mathematical statement: one plus one plus one equals ONE.

• The doctrine of the Trinity says that there is one God in essence but three in persons: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are distinct as Persons, but each Person is fully God.

• The Holy Trinity is a mystery… truly hard to comprehend. It is like trying to explain the color green to a person who has been blind since birth. But behind the mystery is the LESSON of UNITY, GIVING, and MUTUAL SHARING of the three persons in the Trinity!

• Today, when we once again profess our faith in the Blessed Trinity, and every time we make the sign of the cross, let’s always thank God for showing us His love in the Blessed Trinity.
