On this Sunday after Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the unique identity of God – the Most Holy Trinity. This identity states that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are three persons in one God. They are one and the same God. They are equal in themselves. They are distinct in person and in function but never act in isolation. For example, creation was the distinctive role of the Father but not without the Son and the Holy Spirit. Salvation was the particular function of the Son but not without the Father and the Holy Spirit. Sanctification is the distinctive function of the Holy Spirit but not without the Father and the Son.
The distinctive roles of the three persons of the blessed Trinity does not make them different gods like deities with different constituencies. These three persons are not three gods but three persons in one God. The complexity in understanding this revealed truth makes it a mystery. We cannot fully comprehend how the Trinity is but we can understand to the extent that it has been revealed.
God has revealed Himself but not entirely. What has been revealed is enough for our salvation. It is from the revealed part of the Trinity that we draw very significant lessons in today’s celebration.
First the Trinity is Holy. Holiness is the very essence of God and invariably the way to be united to God. I find so much wisdom in celebrating this mystery just after that of Pentecost. In Pentecost, the Spirit bestowed gifts on us. These gifts are not ends in themselves but means to an end. This means that we are not saved on account of the gifts we possess, but on what we make out of the gifts. Our gifts must necessarily draw us closer to God by making us holy.

Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary |
|
The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary recalls the moment when Mary, having just received the message from the archangel Gabriel that she would bear the Son of God, traveled in haste to visit her cousin Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, though advanced in age, was also expecting a child—John the Baptist. When Mary arrived and greeted her, something extraordinary happened: the child in Elizabeth’s womb leapt for joy, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, recognized Mary as the Mother of the Lord.
In that sacred encounter, Elizabeth proclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!”
Mary responded with one of the most beautiful prayers in all of Scripture—the Magnificat, a hymn of praise and trust in God’s goodness:
