May 31, 2026 - The Most Holy Trinity Sunday 

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Today the Church celebrates one of the greatest mysteries of our faith: the Holy Trinity — one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. While the Trinity can seem difficult to explain, it is not meant to be merely a puzzle to solve. It is a mystery to enter and to live. In today’s Gospel, Jesus sends His disciples into the world with these words: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations… baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” Through Baptism, each of us has been drawn into the very life and love of God.

The Trinity teaches us that God is not solitary or distant. God is relationship. From all eternity, the Father pours out love to the Son; the Son receives and returns that love completely; and the Holy Spirit is the bond of love shared between them. We are created in the image of this God of communion and love. This has practical meaning for our lives. If we are made in God’s image, then we are made for relationships — with God and with one another. We grow in holiness not by isolation, but by learning to love generously, forgive sincerely, serve humbly, and live as people united in Christ.

Every time we make the Sign of the Cross, we proclaim this mystery: “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” We do it so often that we may forget its significance. Yet in that simple prayer we place ourselves in the presence of the God who created us, redeemed us, and continues to sanctify us.

As we celebrate Trinity Sunday, perhaps our task is not to fully understand the mystery of God, but to allow ourselves to be transformed by it. May our families, our parish, and our community become reflections of the love and unity that exist in the heart of the Trinity. Holy Trinity, one God, help us to live in your love and share that love with others.

God bless everyone always!!!
