The Trinity is three Persons in one God. The Father gives Infinite Love to the Son, and the Son, returns that Infinite Love to the Father. The exchange of Infinite Love between them is the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is a Family, an Infinite bond of Love. Normally, when I think of infinity, I think of outward movement, the greater universe. Yet an Infinite bond is a movement within. How can that be? Well, in mathematics, you can infinitely approach zero without ever reaching it. Let’s consider a powerful bond in the universe, the nuclear fusion that holds a star together. If it explodes, the star can go supernova, and if it collapses on itself, it becomes a black hole. What a powerful bond must exist to hold a star together! Yet as powerful as it is, that bond is less than a speck of cosmic space dust when compared with the Bond of Love that is the Trinity. The bond of the Trinity is indivisible, invincible, and insuppressible . . . infinite. The Trinity too is Family. We are made in the image of the Trinity. When we are Family, we discover our true selves.
Prejudice and all that divides is opposed to God and to who we are. We are called to be a unity in diversity. Imagine what it would be like if we had to eat the same ethnic food every day. Okay so I’d pick Italian! But even so, I’d get tired of it eventually. Think of all the different succulent cuisines. The human race is like that, so many races with different, histories, cultures, and talents. When we come together, we are more effective, like parts of the body working in perfect harmony. There are so many people I depend on, doctors, mechanics, maintenance crew, teachers, friends and siblings. What would we do without each other? We are called to be one with all things. The universe comes from the Mind of God, and we are made in God’s image. Each piece of the universe is a part of us and we a part of it. Let us unite with one mind, heart and voice and be truly one.
