Gospel Reading: John 3:16-18
As I read through the prayers and readings for today’s feast, I was touched by the close connection of the Father with the Son through the Holy Spirit. All three are connected and acting in union with one another. No separation from one or the other–displaying the truth for all to see that our Triune God is a God of love and Peace, a God of mercy and forgiveness, of truth and wonder, of life and even of death. No separation within the Trinity. It seems that the three Persons are working for the manifestation of Unity and Love, to be shown and shared with anyone who will stop and open his or her heart to the reality that moves among us and also within each person.
And this revelation can be experienced on mountains, early in the morning, at any time of day or night, with people of all nations and economic realities. All are touched by the marvel of God’s love. Yes, we need faith to venture into this Mystery, believing that we are God’s children and that the Spirit resides within our hearts. Let us take time to ponder this Mystery and let its depth and beauty unfold within our lives, truly changing our world from the depths of our hearts, offering glory and praise to our Triune God of Love.
