Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. 90. Genuine forms of
popular religiosity are
incarnate, since they are
born of the incarnation of
Christian faith in popular
culture.
St. Katharine Drexel (r) with her sister, Louise Morrell
For this reason they entail a personal
relationship, not with vague spiritual
energies or powers, but with God, with
Christ, with Mary, with the saints.
These devotions are fleshy, they have
a face. They are capable of fostering
relationships and not just enabling
escapism.
Blessed Miguel Pro, just before his martyrdom, 1927
3. In other parts of our society, we see the
growing attraction to various forms of a
“spirituality of well-being” divorced from
any community life, or to a “theology of
prosperity” detached from responsibility
for our brothers and sisters, or to
depersonalized experiences which are
nothing more than a form of self-
centredness.
Pastor Joel Osteen, proponent of the “prosperity Gospel”cliff1066/Wikimedia Commons
4. 91. One important challenge is to
show that the solution will never be
found in fleeing from a personal and
committed relationship with God
which at the same time commits us
to serving others. This happens
frequently nowadays, as believers
seek to hide or keep apart from
others, or quietly flit from one place
to another or from one task to
another, without creating deep and
stable bonds. “Imaginatio locorum et
mutatio multos fefellit”.[68] This is a
false remedy which cripples the heart
and at times the body as well.
[68]Thomas À Kempis, De Imitatione Christi, Lib. I,
IX, 5: “Dreaming of different places, and moving
from one to another, has misled many”.

5. We need to help others to realize that the
only way is to learn how to encounter others
with the right attitude, which is to accept and
esteem them as companions along the way,
without interior resistance. Better yet, it
means learning to find Jesus in the faces of
others, in their voices, in their pleas. And
learning to suffer in the embrace of the
crucified Jesus whenever we are unjustly
attacked or meet with ingratitude, never
tiring of our decision to live in fraternity.[69]
[69] We can benefit from the testimony of Saint Thérèse of
Lisieux, who speaks of one particular Sister whom she found
especially disagreeable, where an interior experience had a
decisive impact: “One winter afternoon I was engaged as
usual in my little task. It was cold and growing dark…
Suddenly I heard in the distance the harmonious sounds of a
musical instrument. I began to imagine a well-lit room,
draped in gold, and in it, elegantly dressed young ladies
exchanging worldly compliments and courtesies. Then I
looked at the poor sick woman whom I was attending. In
place of a melody, I heard her occasional groans and sighs…
I cannot express what took place in my soul. All that I do
know is that the Lord illumined it with the rays of truth which
so surpassed the flickering glow of earthly revels, that I could
scarcely believe my happiness” (Ms. C, 29v-30r, in Oeuvres
Complètes, Paris, 1992, 274-275).
Pauline.org
6. 92. There indeed we find true healing, since the way to relate to others which truly heals
instead of debilitating us, is a mystical fraternity, a contemplative fraternity. It is a fraternal love
capable of seeing the sacred grandeur of our neighbour, of finding God in every human being,
of tolerating the nuisances of life in common by clinging to the love of God, of opening the heart
to divine love and seeking the happiness of others just as their heavenly Father does.
Pauline.org
7. Here and now, especially where we are a “little flock” (Lk 12:32), the Lord’s disciples
are called to live as a community which is the salt of the earth and the light of the
world (cf. Mt 5:13-16). We are called to bear witness to a constantly new way of living
together in fidelity to the Gospel.
Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of community!

8. For reflection & prayer
Where do I see or hear God in my world—in the news, in “the cry of the poor,”
in the affection of family or friends? Where do I sense “the embrace of the
crucified Jesus” (n. 91)—in my sufferings and those of others?
Lord, open my eyes, ears, and heart to notice you and love you everywhere.
Heal me as you heal the sick, the penitent, the conflicted, and the faith-filled
of all time.
