Fr. Jorge Miró shares with Exaudi readers his commentary on the Gospel of this Sunday, June 15, 2025, entitled  “Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”

***

Today, we celebrate the solemnity of the Holy Trinity. Today’s celebration reminds us that God is a mystery. A mystery we must live through faith and love.

Thanks to the Holy Spirit, who helps us understand Jesus’ words and guides us to the full truth, believers can experience the intimacy of God Himself, discovering that He is not an infinite solitude, but a communion of light and love.

This is a feast to contemplate and praise the mystery of the God of Jesus Christ, who is One in the communion of three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One God, one Lord; not one Person, but three Persons in one nature… By proclaiming our faith in the true and eternal Divinity, we adore three distinct Persons, of one nature and equal in dignity (cf.  Preface of the Most Holy Trinity).

In the mystery of God, it is essential that you discover that God loves you, just as you are.  God loves you freely : without demanding anything from you. God loves you more than anyone : to the point of giving his life. God loves you faithfully ; he never stops loving you.

Everything God says, teaches, and commands, He does so to show you the path that leads to happiness and eternal life. God wants you to be happy! And He wants you to be happy not just for a little while… but for all eternity!

He wants you to have life, and life abundantly! This is the key to understanding the whole Christian life!

Today’s feast is an invitation to enter into the mystery of God’s love. To allow yourself to be loved by Him and live your faith as a love story with God. To allow Him to embrace you, enlighten you, reveal Himself to you, and gift you with the Holy Spirit so that you may grow in holiness. It is an invitation to empty yourself of yourself and fill yourself with God: thus you will be happy, live authentically as a person, and your life will have full meaning.

It is an invitation to discover that faith is not a theory to be known, but a life to be enjoyed:  You have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but a spirit of adoption as sons, through which we cry out, “Abba!”  (Father).

It’s being able to live each day as a story of love and salvation that God is creating for you. It’s discovering that you are not alone, that  the Lord is with you every day, until the end of the age.

It is discovering that life is not a “loneliness filled with howling” (cf.  Dt 32), but a vocation, a constant call from God who loves you and invites you to enjoy this love story. A call from God who invites you not to remain an existential “wanderer,” but to enjoy being a  pilgrim  who, hand in hand with the Lord, walks toward the goal of eternal life.

And, amazed by the mystery of God’s love, this feast is an invitation to live in praise, as we sang in the Psalm:  “Lord, our God, how majestic is your name in all the earth!”  An invitation to be able to say every day: “Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit!”

Let yourself be loved by God!

Come, Holy Spirit!
