Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Holy, Holy, Holy ...

Let us listen to the Little Daughter of Divine Will as she encounters the Most Holy Trinity:

As I was in my usual state, I seemed to see the Most Holy Trinity. They were looking at One Another, and in those gazes Their beauty was so great that They would remain ecstatic at the mere gazing upon One Another. In this state They overflowed with love, and were as though stirred by that love, to then become more intensely ecstatic. So, all of Their good and delight was comprised within Themselves, and the whole of Their eternal life, beatitude and exercise, was enclosed in this word alone: ‘Love’. And the whole beatitude of the Saints was formed by this perfect operating of the Most Holy Trinity. 

While I was seeing this, the Son assumed the form of the Crucified, and coming out from Their midst, He came to me, sharing with me the pains of the crucifixion. And while remaining with Me, He brought Himself once again into Their midst, and offered His sufferings and mine, satisfying for the love that all creatures owed Them.

Who can say Their delight, and how satisfied They were by the offering of the Son!

It seemed that, since in creating the creatures nothing had come out of Their interior but contained flames of love; so much so, that in order to give vent to this love They began to create many other images of Themselves - only when They receive what They have given, are They then satisfied - that is, love They gave, love They want. So, the most awful affront is to not love Them. Yet, Oh God, three times holy, who is there that loves You?

After this, They disappeared; but who can say what I understood? My mind got lost, and my tongue is unable to articulate a word.

Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

   
       

Holy, Holy, Holy ....

Glory to you, O Trinity, 

one God in three equal Persons, 

as in the beginning, so now and for ever.

Father all-powerful, 

Christ Lord and Savior,

Spirit of Love, 

You reveal yourself in the depths of our being,

drawing us to share in your life and your love.

One God, three Persons,

be near to the people formed in your image, close to the world your love brings to life.

                  The Father is Love, the Son is Grace, the Holy Spirit is 

their bond of fellowship, O Blessed Trinity.

                   The Father utters the Truth, the Son is the Truth he utters, and the Holy Spirit is Truth, O Blessed Trinity

These are some of the beautiful texts of the Liturgy of the Hours for today's solemn feast of the Most Holy Trinity. We don't need to understand in order to savor, and rejoice in the Lord. Always.
