Undivided Unity—Most Holy Trinity (Cycle C)
Proverbs 8:22–31; Romans 5:1–1; John 16:12–15
While we are now back in Ordinary Time, we have several solemnities that we celebrate on the next two Sundays. This weekend celebrates one of the greatest mystery of our Catholic faith, most Holy Trinity—the dogma that posits that we worship one God in three Divine Persons. It’s a headscratcher for us now, as it was the Christians of the third and fourth centuries, and there were great controversies around this dogma until all matters concerning the Trinity and Christ’s divinity were settled by the sixth ecumenical council. The reason for prolonged development was simply because there is no mention of a Trinity in the New Testament.
