Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Matt 28,16-20

Some events will happen in life that will affect him ultimately. For example, someone does some evil deed for which they go to jail, and we say they will be stuck with it for the rest of their lives. But even if someone is selfless from a young age, helps others, and is honest and fair, this will also be with him throughout his life. It is the same in the religious field because how a person was raised in faith also manifests in his life. Today, on the Feast of the Holy Trinity, we remember the greatest secret of our faith, which Jesus Christ also spoke about. Today’s Gospel confirms this: Go, therefore, teach all nations and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The core of this mystery is that there is only one God but in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Mainly, you elders, during the long years that you have been going to Church, you must have heard many speeches about the Trinity, but today, we would like to draw back the veil of this mystery at least a little. However, we must immediately state that we cannot do this for our poor reason, so we have no choice but to exclaim with St. Paul: What a depth of God’s wealth, wisdom, and knowledge! How incomprehensible are his judgments and unsearchable are his ways! However, the Holy Trinity accompanies us all our lives, despite our weak minds, which we are often not even fully aware of, and at each such meeting, we promise her something.

The first meeting with the Triune God was at our in the faith, The sacrament of baptism is a significant event in the life of a Christian. It symbolizes the washing away of sin and the rebirth into a new life in Christ. Many churches perform baptisms by immersing the individual in water, while others may use sprinkling or pouring. Regardless of the method, the act itself is a powerful symbol of spiritual cleansing and the start of a journey of faith., when the priest poured water on our heads and said: I baptize you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit… At this moment God – the Father accepted us as his children, God – the Son made us our brothers and sisters, and God – the Holy Spirit enlightened our souls. This is how our life began in the name of the Triune God, and although we could not speak yet, we promised through the mouths of our parents and godparents that we would grow up in faith and love for God. This promise was to be implemented by those who made it for us. Therefore, the question for parents and godparents is now appropriate: Have you fulfilled this promise? Have you passed on the faith to your children and godchildren? Have you taught them to love God? Do you yourself live as believers, baptized people, as God’s children?

Our next meeting with the Holy Trinity occurred in the confessional, where we heard the words: And I absolve you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit… The Triune God has forgiven us for all the evil we have committed and is constantly waiting for us to fall before him in knees, confessed and rose again for their sins. But let’s be honest: Do I use confession for purification and resurrection from sins? How often do I receive this sacrament? We could list many such meetings, but let’s try to focus on at least one more. One day, you stood in front of the altar and promised to be faithful to each other for the rest of your life. Then the priest placed a stole on your hands and said: And I, in the name of the holy Church, confirm that you have concluded a sacramental marriage, and I bless it in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit… Thank you, dear husband and wife, swore that you would stand by each other in happiness and unhappiness, good and bad, health and sickness. Did you comply? Promises must be fulfilled, especially those we make to God, because the word makes us honest people.

In the Church of the Virgin Mary in San Francisco, a statuette of the baby Jesus was lost from the Nativity scene over Christmas. They immediately started looking for her, but without success. When it seemed they would not find her, a certain policeman noticed how a little boy, barely 7 years old, was pulling a red cart with a statuette. He began to scold the boy and reproach him for stealing. But the boy jumped into his speech, looked at him intently and joyfully announced to him: You know, sir, I wrote to Jesus to bring me a red card and I promised him that when I got it, I would be the first to drive it. So I’m fulfilling my promise, and I’ve driven it through the streets since morning. This nice and funny story tells us that God fulfills his promises and that we should also imitate him. Let’s remember that we want to do everything for the greater honor and glory of the Holy Trinity and to be faithful to her all our lives.
