The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you. Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.

Every good we have is the Most Holy Trinity’s. We owe our very existence to the Holy Trinity and our every thought, word, and work should have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as its source, center, and summit. It is in the Father’s commandments that we discover His paternal love for us. It is in Jesus’ teachings that we witness the way we are called to live our lives. It is in the Holy Spirit’s inspirations that we encounter the truth, which will guide us and set us free. And just like Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we should seek to think, speak, and do all things not on our own, but as channels of God’s Will. When we do this, our actions glorify God and in turn we are glorified by Him.

Do we give thanks and glory to the Holy Trinity for all they have given us? Do we allow God to think, speak, and work through us? Do we declare ourselves His and only His?

O Lord, we declare ourselves to you. Do with us what you will.

Amen.
