Union With God

Today's Solemnity of the Holy Trinity focuses on the incomprehensible mystery of the Holy Trinity, One God in three divine persons, each unique and distinct from the other. It's simpler to say that God is Love.  St. John repeats that many times and urges us to love one another in imitation of the love these three Persons have for one another (and for us).  The Catholic Catechism, in similar fashion puts it this way:  "God himself is an eternal exchange of love, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and he has destined us to share in that exchange." (CCC 221),  God's grace lifts our ordinary life to a new level of divine life, giving meaning and purpose to our existence.  We were created to live in union with God and can do so here on earth by living the Great commandment of loving God and neighbor.  It is a union that implies action, a lively, loving, caring exchange with all.
