The Most Holy Trinity
May 26, 2013

 

“[T]he love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.” 
(Romans 5:5b)

 

 

SEEKING TO UNDERSTAND THE TRINITY

     If you sometimes find the Church’s teachings incomprehensible, be encouraged by today’s Gospel. Recognizing how bewildered his disciples have become, Jesus says, “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.” Then he promises that “the Spirit of truth” will come to make things clear.

     Even with the coming of the Spirit, we never fully understand. Today we hear the ancient poetry of the book of Proverbs, singing of God’s wisdom “playing on the surface of his earth,” delighting in humankind. We hear Paul boasting of his joy—not only in the blessings God sends, but even in “our afflictions.”

     Theologians wrestle with the mystery of the Trinity; with the help of the Spirit they make that divine mystery a little more clear to the Church. We understand a little. But mostly we listen, we pray, and we ask the Spirit for more clarity.

COMPRENDER LA TRINIDAD

     Si a veces encuentras que las enseñanzas de la Iglesia son incomprensibles, el Evangelio de hoy te animará.

     Viendo cuán desconcertados estaban sus discípulos, Jesús les dice, “Aún tengo muchas cosas que decirles, pero todavía no las pueden comprender”. Y les promete “el Espíritu de la verdad” que vendrá a aclarar todas las cosas.

     Aún con la venida del Espíritu Santo, seguimos sin entender completamente. Hoy podemos escuchar el viejo poema del libro de los Proverbios donde se ensalza la sabiduría de Dios, “jugando con el orbe de la tierra” y sus delicias “eran estar con los hijos de los hombres”. Y escuchamos a Pablo, gloriándose de su alegría, no sólo en las bendiciones recibidas del Señor, sino también “hasta de los sufrimientos”.

     Los teólogos han luchado por explicar el misterio de la Trinidad y, con la ayuda del Espíritu, han logrado aclarar un poco para la Iglesia ese misterio divino. Comprendemos poco. Pero escuchamos, oramos, y le pedimos al Espíritu que nos dé luz para comprender cada vez más.
