The Most Holy Trinity - Year B - Trinity Sunday & “Holy Trinity Songs”
Last Sunday, we celebrated Pentecost and the sending of the Spirit which sealed God’s new covenant and made a new creation. In this new creation, we live in the family of God, who has revealed himself as a Trinity of love. We share in his divine nature through his Body and Blood. This is the meaning of the three feasts that cap the Easter season— Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and next week Corpus Christi. These feasts should be intimate reminders of how deeply God loves us, how He chose us to be is His children.
This weekend’s readings illuminate how all God’s words and works were meant to prepare for the revelation of the Trinity and God’s blessing in Jesus Christ—the blessing we inherited in Baptism, and renew in each Eucharist. Out of love, God called Abraham and chose his descendants to be his own people as retold by Moses in today’s First Reading. In Jesus, God’s word took flesh as a son of Abraham, and Jesus reveals in the Gospel today that the one God is Father, Son, and Spirit. God desires to make all people his own. As He led Israel out of Egypt, God freed us from slavery, Paul says in today’s Epistle. As he adopted Israel, He gives us the Spirit by which we can know him as “our Father.”
As God’s heirs, we receive the commissions of Moses and Jesus. We are to fix our hearts on him, and to observe all that he has commanded. The Eucharist is his pledge—that he will be with us until the end, that he will deliver us from death to live forever in the promised land of his kingdom.
In honour of Trinity Sunday, we present "Holy Trinity Songs", a collection of three (3) well-known, traditional Christian hymns dedicated to the Holy Trinity of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
