The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, and in the United States, Father's Day. A perfect blend. We begin with the affirmation so forcefully presented in the First Letter of John, that God is love.(1 Jn 4:8). We try to fathom that love by thinking of the people we love most dearly but this is only a shadow of the God-Love. So powerful is the love of the Father for the Son, that a Third Person, the Holy Spirit, exists. It's beyond our understanding, and acceptable and accessible only through Faith. But what a model for Fathers, to imitate as best they can the immeasurable love of the Father for the Son! A love that binds the family together in an unbreakable bond, sustains life and abounds in loving guidance and protection. Yes, :"the Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger and rich in steadfast love." (Ps 103:8), an inspiration and goal for Fathers. All praise and thanks to God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and all happiness and thanks to Fathers.
