The Most Holy Trinity
Life, the Universe, and Everything
Why does God love us so much? And why are we able to love others? The answer to these questions is found in the meaning of tomorrows feast. Trinity Sunday celebrates not so much an idea of three-in-one, as the relationship of the Persons of the Trinity with each other and with us. The idea of the Trinity is based on love. But God’s love was so great, God went even further. God created us to be loved by God.
Though human love is not perfect, the love of man and woman can produce another person, a child. The three Persons of the Trinity share one life in God. But through baptism we also share in God’s life. Just as parents love to see how their children look like them, so God loves to see the divine in us.
Our decision to love is a response to God’s love, and our ability to love is itself a gift from God. The meaning of life, the universe, and everything is Love, the love of the Trinity for each other and for us. The question now is, how well do we use that gift of God’s love by loving each other?
