The Trinity teaches us that one can never be without the other. We are not islands, we are in the world to live in God’s image: open, in need of others, and in need of helping others.” – Pope Francis Trinity Sunday Today the Church commemorates Trinity Sunday. We might have heard that sermons and lectures about the Trinity usually conclude with the caution that it is beyond comprehension and that we may never be able to fully understand it.
As a response, Christians should affirm unequivocally that we too believe in only One God, as evidenced by the Nicene Creed which is professed every Sunday. This is, in fact, the thrust of today’s first reading. Moses brings to the Lord two tablets to replace the ones he had earlier smashed onto the Golden Calf as the Israelites had sinned against the first of the Ten Commandments “I am the LORD your God, . . . you shall not have strange Gods before Me” .
Numerous analogies have been used to explain what three Persons in One God means . The more common ones compare the Trinity to H2O or to the Irish shamrock or to a tree or to a woman . These analogies are good in so far as they maintain that the different forms are constituted of the same substance, just as Jesus is consubstantial with the Father, as with the Holy Spirit.
