5/26
The love of God has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit.
— Romans 5:5b
SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND THE TRINITY
If you sometimes find the Church’s teachings
incomprehensible, be encouraged by today’s Gospel.
Recognizing how bewildered his disciples have
become, Jesus says, “I have much more to tell you,
but you cannot bear it now.” Then he promises that
“the Spirit of truth” will come to make things clear.
Even with the coming of the Spirit, we never
fully understand. Today we hear the ancient poetry
of the book of Proverbs, singing of God’s wisdom
“playing on the surface of his earth,” delighting in
humankind. We hear Paul boasting of his joy—not
only in the blessings God sends, but even in “our
afflictions.”
Theologians wrestle with the mystery of the
Trinity; with the help of the Spirit they make that
divine mystery a little more clear to the Church. We
understand a little. But mostly we listen, we pray,
and we ask the Spirit for more clarity.

Opus Sanctorum Angelorum
(“Work of the Holy Angels”)
Three Day Mission
June 24-26, 2013
St. Patrick’s Parish in Ripon (209-838-2133)
Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
Only our Catholic faith teaches us about the
doctrine of the Most Holy Trinity. We believe that
God is a mystery of three Divine Persons. Creation is
attributed to God the Father, Redemption to Christ
the Son, and Sanctification is of the Holy Spirit. In
today’s feast we encounter the mystery of all
mysteries, the mystery that underlies our faith and
our entire spiritual life.
The Trinity is a mystery too great for many people
to accept. Many of us prefer to have a god whom we
can understand. My personal thought, however, is
that if God is someone I can completely understand,
someone probably made him up. We should not be
surprised that the God who made all things is greater
than all the things he has created, including our
human intellect. It was Tertullian, a Christian
philosopher who was born about 115-120 years after
Jesus died, who coined this word “Trinity” as he was
trying to put into words the faith of the early Church
about Christ. It was not an easy persuasion; there
was bloodshed on this issue. People take their
theology seriously.
In the year 325 Constantine called the bishops
together in what we call the Council of Nicaea to
define the relationship between the Father and the
Son, and later on the Council of Constantinople
further clarified and expanded the Holy Spirit as the
third person of the Blessed Trinity. What bound
them together is the love of each other to each other.
The blessed Trinity is the inner life of God and it is
only up to that point that we can approach God in its
wonder.
Opus Sanctorum Angelorum is a canonically erected
association of the faithful approved by and faithful to the
Magisterium. It is under the overall direction of the Order
of Canons Regular of the Holy Cross. Besides the general
teachings on the spiritual life, the Opus Angelorum has the
special mission to promote the awareness of the powerful
presence and help of the Holy Angels in our spiritual lives.

2nd Collection Next Weekend
Next week our Parish will take up the Collection for
the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC). This
Collection communicates the Good News through
Catholic social media activities and enriches our faith
through podcasts, television, radio and print media.
Half of all proceeds remain in our diocese, so please
be generous in this Collection. CCC is how the Good
News gets around to you.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Today’s feast, extending a dimension of Easter joy
into Ordinary Time, reminds us that every aspect of
worship centers on the mystery of God in three persons. At
baptism, we are initiated into Christ and the Spirit. The
Creed we recite at Mass every Sunday has its roots in the
ancient celebration of baptism when a new believer was
questioned at the edge of the waters of the font with three
questions: Do you believe in God, the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit? Three questions, three affirmations, three
immersions into the saving waters. Because every liturgy
abounds with references to the Trinity, not only in words
but in blessings by the sign of the cross, this feast was not
easily accepted into the calendar. Pope Alexander in the
eleventh century remarked that the liturgy is so laden with
praise of the Trinity that there was no need for a special
feast. Two hundred years later, while in exile in France,
Pope John XXII proclaimed the feast, but it was not until
1911 that Pope St. Pius X gave it status as a solemnity.
A favorite image in art for today is the Icon of the
Trinity, showing three glorious winged men seated at a
table laden with bread and a cup of wine. It recalls
Abraham’s hospitality to angels and gives expression to
the inner life of God, a life lived in relationship, a life
poured out in abundance whenever Christians gather at
the table of the Eucharist to give praise to the Father, in
Christ, in the embrace of the Spirit.
