We're having a party. Join us!

One of the most beautiful ways the Blessed Trinity has been described is that the Father is the one who loves, the Son is the one who is beloved, and the Holy Spirit is the bond of love between them. This description falls infinitely short of the reality, but it gives us a more profound idea of the Trinity: that the inner life of the Trinity is an infinite, eternal, unchanging dynamic of love. As St. John says, "God is love."

Today's Feast of Trinity Sunday is more than just a reaffirmation of the Trinity as a dogma: three persons, one God. Trinity Sunday is a reminder that this Triune God calls us to share in that infinite love, that divine life. We are brought into that life and love as we are baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Every experience and every gift we have from God comes from those three Persons and brings us closer and deeper into the life and love these three Persons share.

"We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," "eternally begotten of the Father..." through whom "all things were made" and who was "playing before Him all the while, playing on the surface of His earth...." And not only this but "the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us."

The Blessed Trinity -- Father, Son, Holy Spirit -- is a community of Persons, a community of perfect love and life. The Trinity calls us and draws us to share through grace that love and life, to join the party and to rejoice forever in that love, that life, that truth.
