Holy Trinity Sunday

Today is Holy Trinity Sunday and while I'm on vacation I have no homily to post today. However this is such a significant feast I have some reflections to share. A little over a week ago I listened to several practice homilies from aspriring deacons in formation. After each presentation the instructor always returned to the theme of the difficulty of expalining a "mystery". The Trinity is a mystery, an expression of our faith.

Even in the opening prayer for today's feast we hear the word mystery as the prayer continues that we worship one God in three Persons. Notice the capitalization of both God and Persons.

In one of today's antiphons we again emphasize our desire in worshiping God equals worship of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

So today may we all give fitting worship to God, the Holy Trinity as we proclaim: Glory Be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit!
