GOSPEL POWER l JUNE 12, 2022 - SUNDAY
Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
Gospel: Jn 16:12-15
Jesus said to his disciples, 12“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”
Our God is a Community of Three Persons who reach out to one another in perfect love. The Spirit of both Jesus and the Father is a self-emptying Spirit who does not speak his own truth nor glorify himself. By deepening the truth that Jesus already declared, the Spirit glorifies Jesus. And since the Father is the ultimate source of everything that Jesus declared, the Spirit glorifies the Father too. We exist out of the overflow of this Trinitarian dynamism of selfless love and communion. Therefore, an egoistic, individualistic way of life is a denial of the fundamental truth about who we are and what we are on this earth for. We are made to connect with one another in fraternal love, to reach out in communal interdependence for the accomplishment of God’s purposes, and to build among ourselves a unity that will glorify the One God in Three Persons, whose image and likeness we are.
O Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
