The Most Holy Trinity

"We worship on God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity!" (Athanasian Creed). We can easily get lost in trying to wrap our minds around the Three-in-One. "Ineffable"...beyond comprehension, indeed, is the word that best describes "The Great Mystery", as God is called in the Lakota religion by Lakota native Americans across South Dakota. Yet we are urged to approach the Trinity in the simpler, more engaging concept of Love. "God is Love" St. John tells us, "and all who live in love live in God and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect." (1 Jn 4: 16-17). Living in love, living in God means that we model our love for one another on the great love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for each other: perfect acceptance, mutual respect, sharing, giving of total being, emptying of self to bring about total harmony of wills and being. As we strive to "love perfectly" today and the days ahead, we will become more God-like. Let us join with the Saints and Angels who intimately share in the life of God and are our role-models and guides on our journey to Eternal Life in the Trinity, and shout: "Blessed are you , now and through endless ages, O holy Creator and Ruler of all, most blessed and undivided Trinity!" (Traditional Antiphon).
