Today the Church celebrates the Most Holy Trinity. We firmly and truly believe in the Nature of God – the central truth and mystery of Christian faith that God is Three and God is One – the undivided Unity.
Jesus who is Our Way, has opened the path to the Father and He sent His Holy Spirit to dwell in us. The Spirit makes us to call God – Abba Father! And from the Father and the Son proceeds the Holy Spirit.
As we are at home celebrating the Sunday Liturgy, we must remember that we are baptised with the Trinitarian formula – in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. We are saved by God through Jesus Christ Our Lord, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Let us bless the Father and the Son with the holy Spirit and to Him alone be all honour and glory and praise for ever. Then, each time when we begin our prayers we pray to the Father in Heaven, through Jesus Christ His Son in the Spirit of God. This shows us that Jesus Christ is always present among us.
St Elizabeth of the Trinity (1880-1906) referred to the Triune God as “the Trinity” or “my Trinity”. Her whole spirituality was about making her heart a Home for the Trinity. She also reminds us today that the Trinity God dwells in the depths of our hearts and souls and He will not leave us alone and that no one can take Him away from our lives.
