Dear Parishioners,
Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday, a day on which we reflect on this most awesome of divine mysteries, on the glimpse given to us into God’s very Self. This great truth transcends the ability of our minds to fully comprehend, transcends the ability of human language to communicate. St. Pope John Paul II ex presses this same sense of the overwhelming reality of the Blessed Trinity:
A great mystery, a mystery of love, an ineffable mystery, before which words must give way to the si lence of wonder and worship. A divine mystery that challenges and involves us, because a share in the Trinitarian life was given to us through grace, through the redemptive Incarnation of the Word and the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Pope John Paul II, General audience, March 10, 1999) Today, then, we stand in awe before the beauty, majesty, magnificence of our God. But for me, the flip side of the won der that is the Trinity is the fact that this transcendent amazing God is love, that God the almighty and glorious cares about you and me. (Cont'd...)
