Most Holy Trinity
John 16:12-15
The Truth of God's Love
In this passage from John's gospel, selected for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, the one element that the three persons of the Godhead share is truth.
The Father and the Son shares everything. "Everything that the Father has is mine." The Holy Spirit speaks to us nothing else but what Jesus has, which is from the unity of the Father and the Son. "He will take from what is mine and declare it to you."
It is the truth that the Spirit of truth shares with us from that unity. And it is to that truth that the Holy Spirit guides us. "The Spirit of truth will guide you to all truth."
And what is this truth? It is the truth of the Trinity's love. John gives it to us in the key phrase of his Gospel, "God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish, but might have eternal life." (3:16)
So, we are drawn into this truth of God's love.
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)
This blog intends to provide readers an opportunity to be nourished by the Word of God. It invites readers to read, reflect and pray the Gospel passage that they will hear during the upcoming Sunday's Liturgy. With the commentaries provided, readers have the possibility of studying and meditating on the Word. Finally, readers are invited to share their reflections, thus creating an on-line lectio divina/faith sharing group, and so sustaining each other in the faith and the love for God's Word.
