Holy Trinity

Nowadays sciences have grown exponentially. The desire to know our world, to comprehend the laws of nature, has pushed our knowledge to limits never experienced before. We have an intellectual curiosity that has filled the internet with almost an infinite amount of information. AI is using all this data to challenge us, to produce better outcomes, to simulate our brains. It is developing capabilities unknown to us. But we forget that we are created for God, that our end is to know and love God for all eternity. And this endeavour should begin here.

All the great things here on earth are only sparks of the divine nature. Everything created has some resemblance of God its author. If we are in awe with the universe, imagine who he is who created it. God has allowed us to know him and develop a relationship with him. It is a pity we spend so much time doing other things, waisting our lives in things that are not important. They say that thirty percent of the data used in the internet is wasted watching pornography. Sex is the god of our times. Porn only makes us depressed and anxious, because it is a passing pleasure that can never make us happy. The devil has caught us with this virtual addiction and we need to become free. It destroys lives, relationships and marriages. We are made for more. When are we going to wake up? The search for true happiness, for God dwelling in our souls, can help us to cut this chain and make us free.

We are so caught up in the things of this world that we forget the world to come. People only believe what they can experience with their senses and they don’t realise that we can access eternity from here. We forget that we have a direct line to God. He is at our finger tips, more accessible than our mobile phones, without the problems of low battery or lack of coverage. We forget that we have the Holy Trinity in our soul unless we push him away. Saint Augustine used to say that he is inside of us, but we are looking for him outside.

Today’s feast day is a reminder of this mystery. We can enter into the inner life of God, and contemplate the relationship between the three persons of the Holy Trinity. We are invited to participate in the constant, infinite, amazing, fluid life of love among the Father, the Son and and the Holy Spirit. We are called to differentiate the three persons, even though they are only one God and it is a very difficult task. Every year we have a new opportunity to go deeper and try to get inspiration from God. We all have an inner desire to see more.

We are children of the Father, brothers and sisters of Jesus, spouses of the Paraclete. We have three kinds of relationships with God, to access the divinity from three different angles, to help us to enter into the mystery the Holy Trinity. We ask Mary, daughter of God the Father, mother of God the Son, spouse of the Holy Spirit, to give us a hand.
