3 In 1
St. Ignatius of Loyola once had a revelation of the Trinity as a harmonic chord, with three notes being played at the same time but forming one sound. This revelation was so overwhelming that after receiving it, he wept tears of joy all day. God is not an isolated being. His nature is to be communal. The one being of God is really the interrelationship between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
As Christians, we share in this Trinitarian love and life. God is not some impersonal force living far away from us in some other universe. He sent His Son to become one of us so that we could share in His eternal and abundant daily life. As disciples of Jesus, we are invited to live within the love of the Holy Trinity. At baptism, we received the intimate, divine life of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, we become sons and daughters of the Father. By the power of the Holy Spirit, he is our Father, just as Jesus is our brother.
The Trinity has immense meaning in our lives. Every day we can affirm this truth. We live within the love offered to us each moment by a merciful God who wants us within this divine relationship. Let us rejoice in the gift of relationship, love and life that has been graciously given to us.
