Love that Seeks Us
Today, we stand before a profound mystery the Most Holy Trinity. A mystery not distant or abstract, but alive and active in our very lives. Wisdom itself tells us that before the world began, before the mountains, before the seas, the Lord possessed Wisdom. Wisdom was there as His craftsman, His delight, playing over the surface of the earth. This image reminds us that God is not solitary; God is a community of perfect love Father, Son, and Holy Spirit working together in harmony to bring forth and sustain all creation.
As we gaze at the heavens, the moon, and the stars the work of God’s own fingers Psalm 8 calls us to marvel: “What is man that you should be mindful of him?” Yet, despite the vastness of the universe, God crowned us with glory and honor, placing us as stewards over all creation. This is the intimate care of the Trinity for each of us: we are not forgotten, not incidental, but beloved children, entrusted with God’s creation and His love.
Saint Paul in Romans reveals to us the power of this relationship. Because of our faith in Jesus Christ, we have peace with God. But this peace is not the absence of struggle rather, it is the courage to face affliction, knowing it produces endurance, character, and hope. This hope is rooted in the love of God poured abundantly into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit is not distant but alive in us, empowering us to live with resilience and joy even amid trials.
In the Gospel, Jesus promises the coming of the Spirit of Truth the Holy Spirit who will guide us to all truth, who will glorify the Son, and reveal the fullness of the Father’s love. The Trinity is not a doctrine locked away in ancient texts; it is a living reality that transforms and guides us every day.
So what does this mean for us? It means we are invited to live the life of the Trinity a life of unity, love, and mission. Just as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit exist in perfect harmony, so too are we called to live in relationship with God and with one another. In our families, workplaces, and community, we become reflections of the Trinity when we love selflessly, forgive generously, and seek peace.
Let us be inspired today to embody this divine love, knowing that the God who made the heavens and earth, who delights in us, walks with us through every trial, and fills us with His Spirit. Let us walk boldly, confident that the same Spirit who guided the first disciples is alive in us guiding, strengthening, and leading us into the fullness of life. May the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity be our strength and joy now and always.
