The Love of the Most Holy Trinity

05-31-2026Pastor's LetterFather Wilson

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Today, it does us good to hear John's Gospel reminding us again that “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) This Sunday, in the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, God is worshipped, loved and served, because God is love. In God we find love, and whatever He actively does He does it for love. God loves. He loves us. This great truth transforms us and makes us more Christ-like. God’s love deeply affects our personal relations, making them purer and helping us to grow in holiness.

St. John of the Cross wrote: “Where there is no love, put love, and there you will draw out love.” And this is true, because this is what God does all the time. “For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.” (John 3:17) Through Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection, we can contemplate Christ as the only one who reveals authentic love to us.

We speak so much about love that perhaps it has lost some of its meaning for us. Love is what God feels for us. Love and you will have true joy! Because to love is to offer our life for those we love. Love is gratuitous and simple. Love is to deny oneself, awaiting everything from God. Love is to diligently serve those who need us. Love is to lose in order to recover up to a hundred-fold of your losses. Love is to live without accounting for what one is doing. Love is what makes us resemble God. Love — and only love — is eternity already among us!

As we contemplate the great mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, may we reflect upon the burning love between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. May we do our best to truly live the Eucharist, which is the sacrament of love, as it gives us God's love made flesh. Faithful reception of the Holy Eucharist spurs us on to share the faith with those who surround us.

“And if human love is so beautiful and glorious a sight, what will it be to behold the mutual Love of the Blessed Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost?” (St. Francis de Sales)

All the best...in Christ.
