The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a Spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, "Abba, Father!" The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

The Holy Trinity is the source, center, and summit of our faith. The Father is our loving God, the Creator of all things, and the Source of all that is good. Jesus is our Merciful Lord, the Prophet of the Good News, and Source of our salvation. The Holy Spirit is our Advocate, the Fountain of our inspirations, and the Source of our holiness. Each person of the Holy Trinity is at the center of what it means to be Christians and we should strive to live in accordance with their commandments, teachings, and guidance. So, too, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the summit of our faith, hope, and love. When we face the judgment, we shall have to answer to the Holy Trinity for what we have done and failed to do... for how we glorified them or how we denied them. Hopefully, we shall allow ourselves to be led by the Spirit of God. Then, and only then, will we be worthy of our adoption as the children of God and heirs to the kingdom

Do we give glory to God, our Heavenly Father? Do we heed the words of Jesus and follow his Way, Truth, and Life? Do we allow the Holy Spirit to bear witness to the Good News through our every thought, word, and work?

O Lord, led us by your spirit so we might become worthy sons and daughters.

Amen.
