Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning!
The Bible readings for this Sunday,
feast of the Most Holy Trinity, helps us to
enter into the identity of God. The second
reading presents the departing words that
Saint Paul bids to the community of Cor-
inth: “the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
and the love of God and the fellowship of
the Holy Spirit be with all of you.” This —
as we say — “blessing” of the Apostle is
the fruit of his personal experience with
God’s love, that love which the Risen Christ revealed to him, which
transformed his life and “impelled” him to take the Gospel to the
peoples. Beginning from his experience of grace, Paul could exhort
Christians with these words: “... rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage
one another, agree with one another.” The Christian community,
even with all its human limitations, can become a reflection of the
communion of the Trinity, of its kindness, of its beauty. But this —
just as Paul himself testifies — necessarily passes through the ex-
perience of God’s mercy, of his forgiveness.
It is what happens to the Hebrews in the Exodus journey. When
the people break the covenant, God presents himself to Moses in
the cloud in order to renew that pact, proclaiming his own name and
its meaning. Thus he says: “the Lord, a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.” This name implies
that God is not distant and closed within himself, but is Life which
seeks to be communicated, is openness, is Love which redeems
man of his infidelity. God is “merciful”, “gracious” and “rich in charity”
because he offers himself to us so as to fill the gap of our limitations
and our shortcomings, to forgive our mistakes, to lead us back to the
path of justice and truth. This revelation of God is fulfilled in the New
Testament thanks to the Word of Christ and to his mission of salva-
tion. Jesus made manifest the face of God, in substance One and in
persons Triune; God is all and only Love, in a subsistent relationship
that creates, redeems and sanctifies all: Father and Son and Holy
Spirit.
Today’s Gospel “sets the stage” for Nicodemus, who, while play-
ing an important role in the religious and civil community of the time,
has not ceased seeking God. He did not think: “I have arrived”; he
did not cease seeking God; and now he has perceived the echo of
His voice in Jesus. In the nighttime dialogue with the Nazarene,
Nicodemus finally understood that he had already been sought and
awaited by God, that he was personally loved by Him. God always
seeks us first, awaits us first, loves us first. He is like the flower of
the almond tree; thus says the Prophet [Jeremiah]: “It blooms first.”
In fact Jesus speaks to him in this way: “God so loved the world that
he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might
not perish but might have eternal life”. What is this eternal life? It is
the immeasurable and freely given love of the Father which Jesus
gave on the Cross, offering his life for our salvation. And this love
with the action of the Holy Spirit has shined a new light on the earth
and into every human heart that welcomes him; a light that reveals
the dark corners, the hardships that impede us from bearing the
good fruits of charity and of mercy.
May the Virgin Mary help us to enter ever deeper, with our whole
being, into the Trinitary Communion, so as to live and witness to the
love that gives meaning to our existence.
