May 31, 2015 The Most Holy Trinity
From our earliest years we have been told that the Holy Trinity, one God in three divine per-sons, is a mystery never to be grasped by human minds. For this reason, today’s solemnity might seem shrouded in smoke, like Mount Sinai when Moses met God. Yet it would be a mistake to turn from today’s liturgy as if it were entirely incomprehensible.
The three-personed God might be incomprehensible, but this solemnity assures us that this same God is not inacces-sible. Moses voices our astonishment in the first reading: Who has ever heard of a god who actually speaks to people? The Church becomes even bolder in the second reading: Paul assures us that we are to call this awesome God “Abba, Father!” (Romans 8:15). We are led by the Spirit, adopted as children, heirs with Christ of all that comes from the Father. Surely if Moses were among us today, he would repeat his astonished cry from the first reading.
WHAT ARE WE TO DO?Be careful not to miss the action words, the verbs, in these
readings today. Such a feast might imply we ought to stand still or kneel down. But Paul reminds us that we are led by the Spirit. In Matthew’s Gospel we are sent. “Go!” Jesus com-mands us. “Make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19).
Just remember—we have nothing to fear. The Lord has cho-sen us to be his own. Jesus has promised to be with us always, until the end of the world! He promised to do this by sending the Holy Spirit. He taught us to call God our Father. While the Trinity is certainly a mystery of our faith, it is clear that Jesus did not intend for it to be a secret.
Today’s Readings: Dt 4:32–34, 39–40; Ps 33:4–6, 9, 18–20, 22; Rom 8:14–17; Mt 28:16–20
31 de mayo de 2015 La Santísima Trinidad
Desde nuestros primeros años hemos escuchado que la Santísima Trinidad, un solo Dios en tres divinas personas, es un misterio que la mente humana no puede comprender. Por eso la fiesta de hoy podría parecernos tan etérea como la nube en el monte Sinaí cuando Moisés se encontró con Dios. No obstante, sería un error abandonar esta liturgia como algo
incomprensible.Dios en tres personas puede ser incomprensible, pero esta
solemnidad nos asegura que ¡ese mismo Dios no es inaccesible! Moisés expresa nuestro asombro en la primera lectura: ¿Quién conoce un pueblo al que Dios le hable? La Iglesia se muestra aun más audaz en la segunda lectura. Pablo nos asegura que debemos llamar a este Dios asombroso, “¡Abba, Padre!” (Romanos 8:15). Somos guiados por el Espíritu, adoptados como hijos e hijas, herederos con Cristo de todo lo que viene del Padre. ¡Seguro que si Moisés estuviera entre nosotros hoy, repetiría su grito sorprendido de la primera lectura!
¿QUÉ TENEMOS QUE HACER?Presta atención a las palabras de acción, los verbos, en
las lecturas de hoy. Una fiesta de esta clase podría significar que tenemos que quedarnos inmóviles o arrodillarnos. Pero Pablo nos informa que somos guiados por el Espíritu. En el Evangelio de Mateo, ¡somos enviados! “¡Vayan!” Jesús nos ordenó, “y hagan que todos los pueblos sean mis discípulos” (Mateo 28:19).
Recordemos esto: no tenemos que temer a nada. El Señor nos ha elegido para ser suyos. Jesús nos ha prometido estar con nosotros siempre, hasta el fin del mundo. Prometió cumplir eso enviando a su Santo Espíritu. Nos enseñó a llamar a Dios Padre nuestro. La Trinidad es un misterio de nuestra fe, pero está claro que Jesús no quería que este misterio fuese un secreto.
Lecturas de hoy: Dt 4:32–34, 39–40; Sal 33:4–6, 9, 18–20, 22; Rom 8:14–17; Mt 28:16–20
