The Trinity is impossible for the human mind to fully understand, thus we call it a mystery. The Trinity is Truth because God revealed it as so. All we need to believe is God’s revelation to us. Today, we celebrate the Most Holy Trinity.
Then Jesus approached and said to them,
“All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Mt 28: 16-20
The Trinity is responsible for us being created, receiving the opportunity of grace to be saved, and if baptized is present in us now to guide us on our journey to heaven. God the Father as Creator, God the Son as Savior, and God the Holy Spirit as guide. This is a central teaching of our Faith. Often times people forget to pray to all three. My prayer: God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, thank you for sustaining me and my family for another day. Thank you for taking care of our every need and many of our wants. I trust in you. Jesus, thank you for dying on that cross. I am forever indebted to you and will never be able to fully repay you. I am sorry for my sins that put you on that cross. Have mercy on my soul. Please fill me up with all your love and grace so that I may avoid the near occasion of sin, my fallen human nature, and the temptations of the devil. I trust in you. I love you. Holy Spirit, please guide me today. Bring to fruition the gifts and fruits of your Spirit within me. Please increase in me today wisdom and knowledge of the Scriptures, patience and understanding of all those I come in contact with, especially my own family members. Increase the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love, prudence and temperance, purity and chastity. Holy Spirit help me only to teach the revealed Truths of Jesus Christ and give my students and family what they need most from you. Holy Trinity, I submit my will to you. Amen.
Pray to the Trinity daily!
To explain the complexity of the Trinity I will leave the summary on the Trinity in the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
261 The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith and of Christian life. God alone can make it known to us by revealing himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
262 The Incarnation of God’s Son reveals that God is the eternal Father and that the Son is consubstantial with the Father, which means that, in the Father and with the Father, the Son is one and the same God.
263 The mission of the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father in the name of the Son (Jn 14:26) and by the Son “from the Father” (Jn 15:26), reveals that, with them, the Spirit is one and the same God. “With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified” (Nicene Creed).
264 “The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father as the first principle and, by the eternal gift of this to the Son, from the communion of both the Father and the Son” (St. Augustine, De Trin. 15, 26, 47: PL 42:1095).
265 By the grace of Baptism “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” we are called to share in the life of the Blessed Trinity, here on earth in the obscurity of faith, and after death in eternal light (Cf. Paul VI, CPG § 9).
