SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION 66 exyÄxvà|Çz On Sunday’s Readings HOLY TRINITY SUNDAY—June 16, 2019 Introduction: What a deal! It is better than a buyVoneVgetVoneVfree sale. With Christ, when you believe in him, you receive not only him but also the other two persons of the Trinity. What a deal! And the cost is solely born by Jesus, all we need to do is simply believe and receive him, and the Father and the Holy Spirit join him in indwelling our lives.  In the early days of Christianity there was a lot of confusion regarding the deLinition of the Trinity, however the reality of the Trinity never was in doubt. The term “Trinity” is not speciLically used in Scripture so it was necessary for the early church fa- thers to develop a statement summarizing this reality. During the Lirst couple of centuries of Christianity, as good people en- deavored to explain the Trinity, various opposing deLinitions were put forth. These deLinitions spanned the gamut of competing and sometimes contradictory beliefs. Finally, at the Council of Nicea (325 AD) the Church afLirmed and clariLied the doctrine of the Trinity in what we now refer to as the Nicene Creed, which we profess during Mass. The issue was never a question of ei- ther the reality or legitimacy of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit but of how they related and the part each played in salvation. We can see this in an early quote by Clement, Bishop of Rome around 100AD: “Do we not have one God and one Christ and one Spirit of grace, a Spirit that was poured out upon us?” (From Catholicism, by Richard P. McBrien) The early Church experienced the reality of the Trinity’s involvement in their lives.  We too should not simply have a head knowledge of this doctrinal truth but a daily reliance on the Trinity’s presence in our lives. Sacred Scripture tells us of this indwelling:  “…I have been cruciPied with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.” (Gal. 2:19V20)  “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19)  “For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, ‘I will live in them and walk among them, and I will be their God. …’” (2 Corinthians 6:16)  The Trinity is a reality that we carry within us as members of his body. The Trinity is with us where ever we go and in whatev- er we do, and the Trinity is an audience to all of our conversations. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in us to quicken or make alive our conscience, to guide and motivate us to make the right decisions and to do the right things, and to give us the power to break the chains of enslaving habits and natural inclinations that are contrary to God  What a deal!!! We get so much by believing in Jesus Christ and becoming his disciples. St. explains it this way, “My Fa- ther and I will come and make our home with him. Let your door stand open to receive him, unlock your soul to him, offer him a welcome in your mind, and then you will see the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the joy of grace. Throw wide the gate of your heart, stand before the sun of the everlasting light that shines on every man. This true light shines on all, but if any- one closes his window he will deprive himself of eternal light. If you shut the door of your mind, you shut out Christ. Though he can enter, he does not want to force his way in rudely, or compel us to admit him against our will. … “Christ comes to this door and knocks; he knocks at these gates. Open to him; he wants to enter…” (The Liturgy of the Hours, III, page 469.)  Let’s open our hearts to Christ and afLirm on this Most Holy Trinity Sunday that we will not simply allow the Trinity to be a doctrine we profess, but to become an indwelling relationship we cherish.    Gospel Reading  John 16:12V15  12 “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.   How do you see the Trinity revealed, and the three roles clariLied through this statement by Jesus?   What light does this verse shed on how the early Church Fathers developed an understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity?   How can your understanding of the Trinity become more of a real inLluence in your life
