Most Holy Trinity
God loved the world so much (Gospel)
Through the Incarnation we learn something of the inner life of God. Jesus reveals himself to us as distinct from the Father and yet one with Him. He also promises to send us the Holy Spirit, who is distinct from both of them. This is no mere theory, it is the “ocean of infinite love” in which we are “simply overwhelmed with joy” (Spe Salvi, 12) The Spirit is the energy which transforms the heart of the ecclesial community, so that it becomes a witness before the world to the love of the Father, who wishes to make humanity a single family in his Son (Deus Caritas Est, 19).
