THE INEXPRESSIBLE MYSTERY
The God of the universe is mysterious. Science has not been able to
solve the mystery of how the universe came into being or explain
exactly what continues to give it creative energy and masterful design.
No religion asserts that it has found words to name fully the ineffable
mystery of God, for no matter what name we use, God always transcends our limited ability to understand. God is a mystery to be believed, not known. And yet, we Christians believe that our name for
God best expresses that inexpressible mystery: God is the Most Holy
Trinity of three persons united in a communion of love, pouring forth
that creative, saving, sanctifying love into the world. Today’s scriptures celebrate the mystery of the Trinity and give us clues for living
that mystery in our lives. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
It is often heard that today’s observance is an “idea feast,” and that
it is somewhat difficult to grasp its meaning. Other great solemnities,
such as Christmas and Easter, have an easily grasped core. Yet, even
though the Trinity is at the heart of our faith, firmly declared in the
Creed since the Council of Nicea in 325, we are used to having people
shrug and say, “Well, it’s a mystery.”
Perhaps it is more helpful to think of this as a “relationship feast,”
since it unveils our deepest identity. Dorothy Day was a great social
reformer, pacifist, and ardent lover of the Trinity. When people told
her that she would certainly be canonized one day (the process is indeed underway), she protested dismissively by remarking that people
were raising a fuss just because she was not afraid to talk about God.
She loved the Trinity, and treasured the traditional icon for the feast,
also known as “The Hospitality of Abraham,” depicting the three
angelic beings seated at a table tilted toward the viewer and laden with
bread and wine. For her, the Trinity revealed the heart of the Catholic
life, three C’s if you will: community, communication, and communion. That was not an “idea” for her, but what it means to be created in
the image of the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
