Reflection/Homily: Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Year C (May 26 2013)
Theme: The Blessed Trinity: Our Faith and Model
The mystery of the Blessed Trinity is very important in the life of the Church because it is the source of her faith. The Church is in fact Trinitarian in her origin, form and destiny. In other words, the Church originated from the Trinity, is formed according to the image of the Trinity and is destined to return to the Trinity. Despite the importance of this mystery in the life of the Church which is God’s visible instrument of salvation, she is not in any way interested in unravelling this mystery but in explaining the relationship between the three Divine persons and the role they play in the history of our salvation.
Like other mysteries, the mystery of the Blessed Trinity is a truth that can never be understood with the human intellect. This truth is arrived at not with the eyes of reason but with the eyes of faith. But at the beatific vision, this faith will give way to vision and we shall understand the deepest mysteries of God. Then it will no longer be a mystery because we shall see God as He really is. For this reason, the Church encourages us today to look forward to the beatific vision when we shall behold the Blessed Trinity and to imitate their love and cooperation now.
