Un solo Dios Trino, pero no
solitario, sino comunitario. El
misterio de la Santísima Trinidad es
eterno, y si bien no lo comprendo
del todo en mi corazón, por mi fe
siento que es único y verdadero;
me da vida como Padre, me ayuda
y acompaña en mi jornada como
Hijo, y habita en mí como Espíritu
Santo, desde mi bautismo.
El
Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, en
el numeral 261, nos dice que “El
misterio de la Santísima Trinidad es
el misterio central de la fe y de la
vida cristiana. Sólo Dios puede
dárnoslo a conocer revelándose
como Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo”.
- ¿Cómo te relacionas con Dios Trino?
- ¿Cuál de las Tres Divinas Personas invocas en tu oración?
“La fe católica es esta: que
veneremos un Dios en la Trinidad y
la Trinidad en la unidad, no
confundiendo las personas, ni
separando las substancias, una es la
Persona del Padre, otra la del Hijo,
otra la del Espíritu Santo; pero del
Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo
una es la divinidad, igual la gloria,
coeterna la majestad” (Catecismo de
la Iglesia Católica numeral 266).
El
amor de Dios es infinito y
misericordioso, y su deseo es que el
pueblo santo participe y goce de su
misma vida divina. Por eso, es
importante que, como discípulos,
anunciemos la Buena Nueva del
Evangelio, que es la salvación. Gloria
al Padre, al Hijo, y al Espíritu Santo,
sea siempre nuestra oración al
despertarnos y al concluir el día.
Gospel Meditation
I am amazed at how my four siblings
teach their many kids in ageappropriate
ways. For example, now
that my nephew Brandon is 24 years
of age, they give him insights and
freedoms that would have been
positively confounding or even
dangerous when he was a toddler.
Imagine if they had taught him at
age four how to drive a car, use a
credit card online, or handle power
tools. But eventually, they did, and
he is a high functioning young man,
I’m proud to say. They are good
teachers.
This week we learn that Jesus
teaches us in a similar way. He says
to his Apostles, “I have much more
to tell you, but you cannot bear it
now” (John 16:12).
How disappointing for them. But imagine
at that moment, before his
resurrection and ascension, if the
Lord had started telling them about
synods and sacraments, popes and
parishes, martyrs and monasteries,
rosaries and relics, catechisms and
crucifixes?
They would have been
absolutely overwhelmed, confused,
and discouraged. He tells them what
they need to know, when it is time
for them to know it.
So he does for us. Jesus has
unceasingly taught the Church as
she matures through the centuries,
just as he teaches you and me
through our lives in ways we can
understand. Our task should be to
learn what he is teaching us now,
knowing that (although revelation
per se is complete in him and his
Apostles), he never ceases to teach
us as we spiritually mature. Be
confident: he knows what you are
ready to learn now.
— Father John Muir
