Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Happy Trinity Sunday! In today's Gospel, we hear Jesus de-clare together all three Persons of the Trinity. "Go therefore,

and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

When we speak of the Trinity, two different theological words are sometimes used: immanent and economic. The immanent Trinity is the life of the three Persons within themselves, the

inner harmonious relationship between Father, Son, and Spirit. We see this in the Gospels when Jesus speaks of his Father and promises to send the Holy Spirit. The term "economic" has its

roots in the Greek word oikonomia, roughly meaning "household management." The economic Trinity is our three-Personed God's relationship with creation; it is creation and

redemption and ongoing relationship with us. Made in the image and likeness of God, we are called to imitate God's immanence by giving and receiving love with one anoth-

er in community. However, this is not limited only to those close to us, though that's where love often starts. We also imi-tate the economy of God when we go out, when we extend our

love and care in a life-giving way. "Go therefore ?" Every believer is sent on mission. Every believer is invited to follow Jesus and the Apostles "to the nations," to the margins, to the people who require a little extra reach. This could be a distant relative, the residents of your local homeless shelter or even the forgotten neighbor next door! When we love well, we

create something beautiful-a relationship, a holy moment, a foretaste of heaven. This Trinity Sunday, take some time to

examine the relationships in your life. How well do you love those nearest to you? How well do you reach out to those far-

ther away? How are you creating something beautiful?
