The Most Holy Trinity Sunday – 15th June 2025
At the very heart of our Christian faith is the belief that God is One and at the same time Three. It sounds impossible. Others think that Christians are foolish for believing such nonsense. Nevertheless, because Jesus teaches us about the Father and about the Holy Spirit, we believe.
We are called Christians because we are followers of Jesus Christ. We believe in Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ we are saved. Jesus called God His Father in a way that somehow touched others. Jesus tells us that He and the Father are One. Later, Jesus tells us that He will send us His Spirit. The early followers of Jesus his Jewish followers, would have understood fairly accurately what Jesus was saying, and that is why some tried to kill Him or at least condemn Him for blasphemy.
We do not know how three persons can be one God. Even to call God a person seems to stretch way beyond our understanding. When we call God a person or three persons, it is saying both that God is like us but also that God is totally different as well. The glory of God touches us today as we celebrate this profound mystery.
