Living in Unity ~ by Ronnie Archer

This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of THE MOST HOLY TRINITY.

In our first reading from Proverbs, we learn that Wisdom existed before anything existed... and Wisdom was there, and in complete agreement with everything that God created.

The second reading from Romans gives us assurance that we have peace with God through Jesus Christ. The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus gave humanity proof of access to GOD by faith in HIM.

The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity is a very special feast day. The Mystery of the Holy Trinity is something that Christians do not need an explanation for. As Baptized Christians, we were welcomed into the family of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Sacrament of Baptism makes us a part of the Church and makes the Church a part of us. Christians do not think or work through the mind, but through the heart.

God loves family and community. He didn't intend for us to live alone... that is what the Holy Trinity is about: relationship and community. We have a deep desire in our hearts for unity with each other; and that is what God wants for us. The Trinity teaches us to empty ourselves for another.

Material things of the world will never satisfy the longing in our hearts; it is the love of God and a healthy and loving relationship with another that is the cause of happiness.

The Feast of the Holy Trinity reminds us that we have to work through love to attain unity with each other.

Among all the beauty that God created and that exists in the world, God is most delighted to dwell in a human heart. The Psalmist says that we are "the crown of creation."

Try to look at others through God's eyes; not our human eyes. Through the Holy Trinity, we have another chance to establish unity with each other.
