Short Reflection for
the Trinity Sunday (C)
Readings: Proverbs 8:
22-31; Romans 5: 1-5; John 16: 12-15
Selected Passage:
“The Spirit of truth will guide you to all truth. He will not speak what he
hears. And will declare to you the things that are coming.” (John 16: 13-14)
Meditation: We begin to understand the one Triune God through our
listening to the Spirit and the testimony of Jesus himself. The Spirit reveals to us all truth.
Where God is understood as absolute
power, there is no need for there to be more than one person, for power can be
exercised quite well by one person; but if God is understood as love and
compassion, then it cannot be this way.
The life of the Trinity is a mystery of relation. This means that the
divine persons do not “have” relations, but rather “are” relations.
‘In
knowing the Father (The Lover), the Son (the Beloved) and the Spirit (love), we
catch a glimpse that, in his innermost being, God is a dialogue, a life of love
among the three Persons. This is the originality of the Christian conception of
God, and it is here that man finds the true explanation of himself. Man feels
an irrepressible yearning for community, solidarity and dialogue; he needs it
to live and grow, he needs it more than the air. But it is only in the light of
the Trinity that this finding acquires an unexpected depth: we are meant to
meet, to dialogue and to love, because we are "image of God", and God
is, in fact - as far as we are given to understand - a community of love.’
(Mons. Francesco Follo)
