Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity has been something that theologians have defined for a very long time. Does God love me? It is a question that we most often ask. In our Gospel today we hear the familiar story from John’s gospel that “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” God’s love is always there for us.
In our world
today there is so much pain and suffering. Watching the news can be painful at
times. There are arrests, protests, hunger strikes, and violence. Our political
situation continues to be contentious. I often find myself asking the question,
why do we treat one another so badly? It is a question that is totally opposite
of the quote from John’s Gospel.
As we are
called this day to be people of faith, hope and love, let us take to heart the
call in our scriptures today. The call is to be a people of peace, hope, and
love. May we take time this day to look into our hearts and see what God is
truly calling us to. We are called to act with justice, we are called to love
one another, we are called to walk humbly with our loving God. Our loving God
invites us to act with compassion, to have hearts full of gratitude. Let us
live in the hope of God’s promise for each of us.
