Trinity: one God in three persons. Dogma I do not understand, yet it is liberating because it assures me that God is not in Himself solitude; that the ocean of His essence vibrates with an infinite movement of love. God embodies reciprocity, exchange, self-overcoming, encounter, and embrace. God’s nature is communion.
The dogma of the Trinity is not a theory that attempts to reconcile the Three and the One but rather a source of wisdom for living. And if God is realized only in communion, so too will the human be. He said in the beginning, “Let us make man in our image and likeness.”
Not only in the image of God but much more! Human is made in the likeness of the Trinity. In the image and likeness of communion, of a bond of love, a mystery of singular and plural. At the beginning of everything, for God and for me, there is a relationship.
The Spirit will guide you to the whole truth, insists Jesus. The Spirit generates the gospel in us and dreams of the future. Then, the spiritual part of us initiates to speak the ultimate language of life that creates.
This is the beauty of faith. To believe is to acquire the beauty of living. The feast of the Trinity mirrors the ultimate meaning of the universe. Before the Trinity, I felt small but embraced like a child: embraced within a wind in which the whole of creation sails, and communion is her name.
