Solemnity of the Holy Trinity

Friends, peace be with you. 

Happy Holy Trinity Sunday! I am reminded, on this solemn day, that we are made to be in communion with one another and that our communion is meant to mirror that of the Holy Trinity, who are a communion of persons but, ultimately one God.  

In the Creed of St. Athanasius, it says…

“Now the catholic faith is that we worship One God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity, neither confounding the Persons nor dividing the substance. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Spirit. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, is One, the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit; the Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, and the Holy Spirit uncreated; the father infinite, the Son infinite, and the Holy Spirit infinite; the Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet not three eternals but one eternal, as also not three infinites, nor three uncreated, but one uncreated, and one infinite. So, likewise, the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, and the Holy Spirit almighty; and yet not three almighties but one almighty...”

May our community always be united in our diversity as are the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit united as one God with three divine, diverse persons, Father, Son,. and Holy Spirit. Amen
