As we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Trinity, today's readings help us recall our own salvation/conversion history - our experiences of the God of love, tenderness, compassion and ever-faithfulness. We recognize the fact that we are mere creatures of God created in His image and likeness and are called into a covenantal relationship with this Triune God.

It's this personal and inter-personal relationship with God that we are called to a graceful relationship with other human beings and creatures in a community of God.

This communion is borne of the Trinitarian God as expressed in the diversity of creation e.g. diversity of life on earth which is seen as sacramental particularly in our worship and practice such as the Eucharist. In this living sacrament, we participate in the celebration of the Communion of the Trinity and solidarity with the victims of destruction - the poor, marginalized, deprived, discriminated and the ecological imbalances we live with, thus we lift up all these to our Trinitarian God and the entire universe. So this is a call to a continual conversion - to enter into a new seeing, thinking, reflection and acting.

Let us pray on this feast day, to our Triune God of communion of mutual love to transform us in our relationship with one another, the wider human community and the cosmos as a whole.



Lord, let our Church of the 21st century be a living sign of this Divine Communion of love.

Eternal Father, I offer You everything I do this day; my thoughts, words, joys and sufferings.
