Sunday of the Most Holy Trinity: May 30, 2010

1st reading, from the Book of Proverbs, 8: 22-31

A collection of moral and religious teachings, the Book of Proverbs was written by Solomon, son of David and King of Israel. On this reading Solomon tells us about Wisdom: God's most favorite and first creation.

Wisdom -says Solomon-, was there before everything else. It has helped "kings to govern and rules to make good laws." Wisdom was with God, "beside him like an architect," from the beginning. Those who listen to wisdom listen to the truth, because wisdom never misleads and never lies.

Wisdom honors God, is just, and gives life to those who find her. She is "better than jewels" and "nothing can compare to(her)."

Those who listen to wisdom will gain knowledge and the meaning of fearing the Lord; they will not get into trouble because they have accepted God's advice.

May we be able to open our minds, our hearts, and our souls, just so wisdom can completely take us under her wing.

2nd reading, from the Letter to Paul to the Romans, 5: 1-5
-Right with God-

God has revealed to us what we need to do in order to be right with Him. "It has nothing to do with law..." In order to be right with God, people has to have faith in Jesus Christ. God tells us that Jesus Christ is the only one who can set us free.

God's promise of salvation is made available, not to those who follow the Law, but to those who believe. So, in becoming right with God, our hearts get filled with hope, the hope that says to us that salvation is a reachable goal. And not even our tribulations will dishearten us, because tribulations can only make us stronger, and the stronger we are, the more hope we can gather in our hearts.

May we experience the need to be right with God, so our hearts get to feel the satisfaction of being at peace, faithfully, through our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Gospel according to John, 16: 12-15
-The Work of the Holy Spirit-
"But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth."

As Jesus prepares the disciples for his departure from this life, his words are delivered plainly but with strong indication of how much he cares for them. He tells them that he is only disclosing what he believes they can bear, and that complete truth will be revealed to them through his Messenger.

In present times we understand, we are able to decipher the mystery of Jesus' words. However, at the time when Jesus first delivered his message, the disciples were confused and were disappointed at the news of losing Jesus once again. The perspective of learning "the truth" though, is an exciting chance that they welcome with open arms.

Learning about Jesus' truth, about his Messenger, and about the Father's message, is a fulfilling opportunity valued by the disciples, maybe as much as we value it today.

May we be able to come full circle and may we get to experience Christ's truth, on a 52" LCD screen, and in full 3-D.
