Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity — our belief that there are three Divine Persons in One God — the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. As the fundamental mystery of our faith, the Most Holy Trinity permeates our identity and prayer. At the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on Sundays, we invoke the Trinity in several ways: from the initial Sign of the Cross at the beginning of Mass to the Gloria, to the Opening Prayer, which is addressed to the Father but offered through the Son, Jesus Christ, “in the unity of the Holy Spirit… one God, forever and ever.” In the Creed (Profession of Faith) we declare what we believe about the oneness of God, and yet a God of three Divine Persons. And, of course, in the central act of the Mass, we ask the Father to send the Spirit so that our offerings of bread and wine may become for us the Body and Blood of Christ, the Son. The Mass concludes with the Final Blessing and another Sign of the Cross. Our faith is truly Trinitarian and this is reflected in how we worship!
