This weekend, the feast of the Most Holy Trinity is a celebration of the very inner nature of God. This inner nature of God is such a profound mystery that we will never fully be able to express it, but it is so very helpful to comprehend it, as far as humanly possible.
It is the mystery that there is ONE God… and only one God… and that God, in his own divine nature, is three persons, equal in majesty…. One in nature, (as God), but three distinct persons within this one nature… Father, Son, and Holy Spirit…
This Means… God's very nature and essence are about community, diversity, unity, and sharing. God is, by nature, generous, loving, giving, sharing and so much more…..
So much has been written about the Trinity… as a means of explaining its meaning to us, as believers…. Some very insightful Spiritual writers have captured some very profound ideas about God – the Trinity of persons…..
For example…. "Within God there is perfect ease when it comes to the concepts of authority……."….Christ willingly submitted to the Father, without a word of protest. It is precisely that willingness that we are called to imitate in submitting ourselves to God the Father's authority. …..(So)….Jesus… who is one with the Father…. Is also perfectly comfortable subordinating himself to the Father…. And the Father, in return, gives his son, all authority and power……….Within the Holy Trinity, we see that the notion of subordination does not carry with it the notion of inferiority. [i]….. In return, the Heavenly Father gives back this obedience from the Son, as a profound re-gift. There is a hierarchy, without domination and without any form of indignity,……. This reminds us that in life, there can be equality of dignity but still distinct roles.
But this never means inequality of dignity or lack of importance…… especially where there is mutual respect and cooperation and unity of purpose…..
The Trinity reminds us that God is by nature generous, and giving and sharing……. "God created us so that the joy God has in God's very self might be ours too. God does not simply think about Himself or talk to Himself. God is filled with joy and love, within Himself! He celebrates with infinite and eternal intensity the beauty of this internal nature as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And we've been created to join the party! [ii]
God as Trinity tells us that God's nature is love…. And a will to include us… share with us … and save us,……. "It was the whole Trinity, which at the beginning of creation said, "Let us make humanity". It was the whole Trinity again, which at the beginning of the Gospel seemed to say, "Let us save humanity". [iii]
Because God is Trinity, God is by nature and essence a perfect community of sharing and union and love… This inner nature of the community means that God is, by definition, generous, and cannot help but allow God's loving sharing, and generosity to flow out into the creation of the universe and of creating the world, and humans and all the creatures in it…. And God's nature as a community in perfect union, cannot help but flow out into inviting his beloved people to share in this life forever too…
And so, we celebrate today and always, that Our God's inner nature, motivation and essence are that of a perfect communion of persons, sharing the one nature as God, and lovingly inviting us his disciples to share in this life…. and to echo in our own lives and actions, the profound generosity, community, inclusion, love, respect, diversity, distinction, and authority with mutuality, that God's nature inspires.
