READY SET GOSPEL: THE TRINITY AS A COMMUNITY

Written By Frank Connelly

In this episode of Ready Set Gospel, Father Max reflects on the solemnity of Trinity Sunday and the concept of humans as a "communion of communions".

Key Takeaways:

  • The Nature of the Holy Trinity: The Trinity is a perfect communion of love consisting of God the Father (the lover), God the Son (the beloved), and the Holy Spirit (the fountain of love they share).

  • Imago Dei and Interiority: Drawing from St. Augustine, Father Max explains how humans are made in the image of God, reflecting a "trinity within" through our ability to reflect on ourselves and our own minds.

  • Call to Communion: We are not created to be isolated or "atomized" individuals in competition with one another. Instead, we are created for communion with others.

  • The Gift of the Church: Gathering as the Body of Christ on Sundays allows our individual interior communions to join together with others as a community.

This Trinity Sunday, reflect on how the Holy Trinity is imprinted in your heart and how it calls you to serve and live in communion with those around you.
