Not Pie in the Sky

As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, the conclusion of Matthew's Gospel read today, reminds us that we are not celebrating an abstract theological idea or explanation, but the indwelling of the Three Persons of The Trinity in our hearts...in our lives.  The undivided Three in One give substance and meaning to our existence, whereas without them we can so easily fall into the pleasures of the moment, be they alcohol, drug, or power related.  Fun becomes one outlandish aberration after another, short-termed, joyless nonsense that fails to satisfy, while the loving presence of our God, whom Jesus promised to be with us "until the end of the age" gives us meaning, purpose and real joy. We are celebrating the God who is LOVE, and who promises to pour that love without reserve into our hearts. It is for real.   Why look elsewhere?  Living and sharing that LOVE is the message for today.
