Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel……Trinity Sunday 27 May 2018
Holy Trinity ! A very difficult topic, during the course of history it caused many, many arguments , wars of religion! This revelation of Jesus Christ causes the most problems , even in today’s world , among the different religions ! The big question is why did Jesus saw it so important to reveal this truth that for us is in any case so incomprehensible ?
Because this is the central teaching of our Christian faith , without this there is no Christianity !! God, our Creator , in His perfectness , does not exist by Himself , but in a community of love ! The essence of the redemption is this, our Creator invites us into this community of love ! The essence of the creation is to love and to be loved !
It is wonderful that infinite love with which Jesus Christ turns to the Heavenly Father : "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.!” Nothing can dim this infinite love since even on the cross He says “"Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit." And when He had said this, He breathed His last.”
At the same time it is good to see the Heavenly Father’s love towards Jesus Christ : ""This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”God is nothing less than an infinite outpouring of love that joins the Holy Trinity , that also wants to include us in this community .
Yes from the gospel the wonderful God like face of the Holy Trinity unfolds ! God in whose name we were baptised : Father, Son and the Holy Spirit ! The Christian man for this reason is not struggling for enlightenment and for him not the perfectness is the main aim , these are only incidental benefits ! For us the community of love of the Holy Trinity is the goal ! We are preparing , upon the invitation of Jesus Christ for a heavenly feast , into such a community , where stepping over our human boundaries we can sit at the one table with our Lord our God ! Startling , daring vistas did Jesus Christ show for mankind , through the revelation of the Holy Trinity ! We are celebrating the central teaching of our faith today , lets be adamant about it, devoted to it ! Day after day lets make the sign of the cross joyfully and lets profess humbly that we are the children Trinitarian one God ! Our earthly goal is nothing else than to become one, united by love, like the Holy Trinity !
With love,
Father Csaba .
translated by dr k.e.
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'
Matthew 28, 16-20
