The Beauty of the Trinitarian God

GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Ordinary Season : Ninth  Week :  Sunday*

*Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity*

*Gospel : Jn 3:16-18*

*First Reading : Ex 34:4b-6, 8-9*

*SECOND READING 2 Cor 13:11-13*

*The Beauty of the Trinitarian God*

*1) The God's Family*

God lives in a family. Where there is Father, Mother and  the Son

Father Son and the Holy Spirit represents a beautiful family, where each one has unique role to play 

So the Trinitarian God is a family God, because He lives in a family 

*2) One God and Three Persons*

There is only One God, but there are three persons involved here 

For example, in burning candle we have the three diffent things

The flame which is seen 

The light or the brightness which comes out of the flame 

The heat which comes out when the candle burns 

There is only one candle, but three things are involved 

In the Egg we find three things 

The Outer Shell 

The White of the egg

The Yellow of the Egg

But there is only one egg

These are the simple but practical examples to know the mystery of the Trinity 

*3) The Unique Roles*

The *Father* is the creator - He is the one who created everything and one who creates everything

The *Son* is the Saviour. He is the one who saves everyone and gives them eternal life 

The *Holy Spirit* fills us with courage, purifes us and the entire church. It the Holy Spirit who protects the church in her holiness 

*4) All must Work and cooperate with each other*

One God three persons - A Triune God

All have unique role, but they have to cooperate with each other 

All play their role equally and are involved in the salvific mission 

God can't work with the absence of any one of the Persons

*5) Triune God is the Part of our Life*

We start our day with the Triune God and end with the Same Triune God 

The Sign of the Cross has the reference to all three 

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit

So the Triune God is invoked in every event of our life 

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
