Heartbeats from your Parish Priest Fr Eduardo With the Easter candle extinguished, we are back into Ordinary Time, and the green colour pervades our litur-gical space/church these days (unless of course there will be special feasts of saints or martyrs). The Church closes the long Lent–Eastertide liturgical season with a feast that invites us to sit back and reflect upon the nature of God as revealed in the Paschal mystery: the feast of the Holy Trinity. It is, of course, through the experience of that mystery and subsequent theological- and our personal reflection upon it that the early Chris-tians came to know God as three Persons in the one divine essence. The doctrine of the Trinity is not, then, an arid theological puzzle but a necessary conclusion from a sense of being grasped by and held within a divine communion of love. For all the terrors it might inspire in the hearts of many believers on its yearly round, it is a feast about the nearness rather than the remoteness of God
The WORD OF GOD in a nutshell The readings of today‘s feast of the most holy Trinity reveal the great gift being offered to us – communion with God. We are offered a share in the very life of the divine community that is God: Father, Son and Spirit. In the 1st Reading, Mo-ses kindles in the people a realisation that God is so close as to be heard. His voice is one that chooses and calls the peo-ple to fullness of life. The Psalm echoes this theme. We are the Lord‘s own chosen people—this is what fills us with hope. The 2nd Reading explains how such a gift comes about. Only by the power of the Spirit, as children of God, are we able to cry ‗Abba, Father‘. Finally, the Gospel shows what this gift means – we are not to rest easy as heirs of God, but to go out to every nation, sharing the gift by inviting
others into the same communion with God.
