Trinity Sunday – Year C (2022)

The readings for The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity for Year C invite us to live in the light of God’s truth. In the first reading (Proverbs 8:22-31) we hear of the eternal nature of God. The psalm (Psalm 8:4-5, 6-7, 8-9) praises God for the wonders of his creation and his care for us. In the second reading (Romans 5:1-) Paul reminds us that faith brings us hope. In the gospel (John 16:12-15) Jesus tells us that all that is the Father’s is also his and he promises us the Spirit of truth.

So this weekend, think about the Holy Trinity and how Father, Son, and Spirit live in community as Lover, Beloved, and Love. Here are some ideas:

The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity tells us that we do not have a solitary God

The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity tells us that we do not have a solitary God up there in heaven, far away; no, He is the Father who gave us his Son, who became man like us, and who sends his own Spirit to be even closer to us. - Pope Francis

Hope Does Not Disappoint

Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
