Sometimes these words can become too familiar and they roll by on the page without eliciting any new thought. But the greatest mystery of the universe is that God gave—and he gave and he gave some more. In fact, he gave everything so that we could be with him.
- That’s how much he loves us!
This is the real mystery that we celebrate today.
- This is a day to rejoice in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who love us!
- It’s a day to rejoice in the very personal love that God has for each one of us
- —a love that will never abandon us.
- God has held nothing back. He invites us, weak and sinful human beings,
- to share completely in his divine life.
And he has moved heaven and earth to make it possible! What an amazing lover
and a most generous giver!
John’s Gospel tells us that God has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth by revealing the mysteries of the gospel to our hearts.
- The Holy Spirit takes what he hears from the Father and the Son and reveals it to us ***in a personal, life-giving way ***(John 16:12-15). And this is not just a passing on of information.
- The Spirit works in such a way as to bring us into an experience of the Trinity.
- His revelation always lifts our hearts, fills us with joy, and gives us confidence that we are God’s beloved children.
- At Mass today, ask for a deeper revelation of the Trinity, a revelation of the love that gave everything so that we could be with him.
- Expect God to fill you with his divine life and give you a deeper taste of his love.
“Thank you, heavenly Father, beloved Lord Jesus, and gracious Holy Spirit, for your amazing love.
How incredible that you would give so much just for us.
We praise you for revealing yourself to us and for filling us with your grace.
Lord, we praise and glorify you!”
