Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Here are the readings for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, June 3, 2012:

Deuteronomy 4: 32-34, 39-40
Psalm 33: 4-6, 9, 18-20, 22
Romans 8: 14-17
Matthew 28: 16-20

The dogma of the Trinity tells me that the very nature of divinity is dynamic love.  For any lover there must be a beloved, and love shared abounds in creative power.  Love gives love (Father to Son), shares love (Son and Father) and becomes a fountain of life (Holy Spirit). Love itself is triune.  ... We know the Trinity not by mental abstractions but by the experience of the Father's love for us, infused with the Spirit in intimacy with Jesus Christ. Trinity is a mystery for sure, but not meant for confusion.  Fundamentally, the dogma of the Trinity reveals profound truths about God's dynamic life and love. (Peter Feldmeir in America magazine, 5/28/12)
  • Is there a particular person of the Trinity to whom you most often pray? 
  • What are your images of each, Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
  • If love has a creative power, where in your life are you loving?
The next Mystagogia session will be Sunday, June 10.
