Day 1 The Holy Trinity Today we are experiencing the Sunday of the Holy Trinity. The liturgy puts us in one of the greatest mysteries of faith. Usually the Holy Trinity begins with the example of St. Augustine. This is a very beautiful example, when Augustine wrote his works on the Trinity. He was walking on the shore of the sea and he met a child. He dug a small hole on the shore and poured water from the sea into it. Then Augustine asked the child what he was doing. She told him that she was trying to pour the water into the hole. And Augustine told him that it was impossible.
And the child told him that he thought it was possible to unravel the mystery of the Holy Trinity. You probably heard this many times, but I don't know if you heard the comment to this story, which was written by one of the good modern theologians, named Greschak, in the great work of the Holy Trinity. He said that this child could have helped Augustine. He said that he could not pour the water into the hole, but he could go and bathe in it. And this is what the Gospel tells us today. The Gospel tells us about the mission order of Jesus, written in the version of St. Matthew.
Go, do good to the disciples of all nations, giving them the mshtu in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Giving them the mshtu means literally drowning. Diving into the mystery of reality, because that also means the name, drowning in the reality of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We are the disciples of the Trinity. We are not the disciples of the God, whom we imagine each in our own way. We are the disciples of the God of the Trinity, the one God in the Trinity. And this being a disciple is not only done by studying, but by drowning in his reality.
What could this mean? Of course, God in the mystery of the Trinity is love, He is a community of people, He is love. But it is also very beautiful what Dums Schott said about the ability to love together. That the Father, Son and Holy Spirit can love together. And when Dums meditated on the mystery of the Trinity, he said that God was looking for those who would like to love together.
So today, we could ask ourselves, not only do I love, but who can I love together with God? And can I love someone by finding myself in the love God loves, in the way God loves? God, for example, can I love someone together with God, who would need my mercy and forgiveness? Because, of course, I know Him from God. But is it in me the ability to love this person together with God, with God who forgave him, with God who is merciful to him? God is looking for people who love together. To love together with God means to immerse yourself in the mystery of the Trinity.
I think that in this mission order, it is worth noting that Jesus says, go and do your duty to your disciples. What is ultimately important when we accept faith is not the state of our knowledge and what we learn, but the attitude. Accepting faith makes us disciples. The attitude is something that is more advanced than any action in a person. The attitude is some kind of internal predisposition to action. If there is an opportunity, it works. It does not always happen. But there is an internal predisposition in me that is more advanced. In the message of the Gospel, in the evangelization, it is about shaping the attitude. This is what it is about.
Ultimately, it is about who a person is in relation to God, and not only what he can do, what he has learned, what he can do, but who he is. We are disciples of the Trinity God. With the best wishes, amen. For more information on the Gospel, visit www. michael. org.
