Trinity is the Way to Love
On this Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Bishop Romie-Jun Peñalosa shared a powerful Sunday Mass homily at Saint Michael Parish in Kalibo, reminding us that the Holy Trinity is not only a central mystery of the Catholic faith, but also a living example of how we are called to love.
Understanding the Trinity
To begin with, the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is one God in three divine persons. While this may seem complex, the Church teaches that these three are not separate gods, but united in perfect love and harmony.
The Trinity Within Us
Moreover, the Trinity is not distant from us. On the contrary, the divine life of the Trinity dwells within us. As Bishop Peñalosa emphasized, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit act as one, forming a dynamic relationship that moves within our hearts. As a result, we are empowered to love—not just in words, but through real action.
Love as a Way of Life
Consequently, this divine love transforms our lives. It enables us to love one another, to build communities rooted in faith, and to show compassion even to those who are difficult to love. In other words, the love of the Trinity becomes our mission.
Experiencing the Trinity Daily
Furthermore, we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Trinity not only through prayer, but through real, personal experience. We encounter:
God the Father as the Creator and source of all love,
Jesus Christ the Son as the Beloved who redeems us,
and the Holy Spirit as the living bond of love who unites us.
Living the Trinity
Therefore, as we honor Trinity Sunday, we are invited to live out this love in our daily lives. Remember this simple truth:
God is love. Jesus is the Beloved. The Holy Spirit is the love shared between the Father and the Son—and now poured into our hearts.
