| | Trinity Sunday |
 | | Trinity Sunday forces us to confront the truth that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave his Apostles before he ascended into heaven: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19). | | | It means that each person of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit is revealed to us in a different manner and teaches us different attributes of the one God. | | | No matter how pious or spiritual a person may appear to be, such a person is not worshipping God unless he is worshipping the Blessed and Undivided Trinity, the Eternal, Changeless, and Indivisible One True God who is God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. |

| | Trinity Sunday |
| | Trinity Sunday is an odd day, a day on which we commemorate a difficult and nearly incomprehensible doctrine of the church. | | | The Trinity is not explicitly or literally mentioned in the Bible, although there are piecemeal allusions, of course, to the complex nature of God’s being. | | | For the first three hundred-plus years of the church, the Trinity was not part of the church’s teaching. |

| | Trinity Sunday Sermon |
| | The feast of Holy Trinity is one of the oldest feasts of the church, though it was not part of the official church calendar until 1334. | | | Embracing the doctrine of the Trinity is ultimately the domain of faith, not of rational belief. | | | Although it was not spelled out until the fourth century, the notion of the Trinity is implicit in the Gospels. |

| | Trinity Sunday |
| | The mystery of the Trinity in itself is inaccessible to the human mind, and is the object of faith only because it was revealed by Jesus Christ, the Divine Son of the Eternal Father. | | | The most fundamental -- and simplest -- affirmation of the Holy Trinity is the invocation known as the doxology, a prayer of praise: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, accompanied by the sign of the cross. | | | The revealed truth of the Holy Trinity is at the very root of the Church's living faith as expressed in the Creed. |

| | Trinity Sunday is celebrated the Sunday after Pentecost, and lasts only one day, which is symbolic of the unity of the Trinity. | | | On Trinity Sunday we remember and honor the eternal God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. | | | Trinity Sunday is really the only feast of the Christian Year that celebrates a reality and doctrine rather than an event. |

| | Since it was after the first great Pentecost that the doctrine of the Trinity was proclaimed to the world, the feast becomingly follows that of Pentecost. | | | John XXII (1316-1334) ordered the feast for the entire Church on the first Sunday after Pentecost. | | | When the Arian heresy was spreading the Fathers prepared an Office with canticles, responses, a Preface, and hymns, to be recited on Sundays. |

| | The feast of the Blessed Trinity was introduced in the ninth century and was only inserted in the general calendar of the Church in the fourteenth by Pope John XXII. | | | This feast, which falls on the first Sunday after Pentecost, should make us mindful that actually every Sunday is devoted to the honor of the Most Holy Trinity, that every Sunday is sanctified and consecrated to the triune God. | | | The feast of the Most Holy Trinity may well be regarded as the Church's Te Deum of gratitude over all the blessings of the Christmas and Easter seasons; for this mystery is a synthesis of Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Ascension and Pentecost. |

| | As Jesus awakened the beginnings of faith in his disciples, filling them with wonder at the mysterious depths they recognised in him, he directed their faith beyond himself, to the One with whom he was in continual communion — their prayer and their trust, he told them, should be addressed to their 'Father in heaven'. | | | Today the liturgy invites us to renew our faith in the Trinity of Persons made know to us in what God has been done for the world in Jesus Christ. | | | Christian faith should bring us the joy of recognising that - in the overflowing tumult of the divine life that we call the BLESSED TRINITY — we find three friends who invite us to share in their common life as the ONE TRUE GOD. |

| | The doctrine of the Trinity was not thought up by some ancient Christian or church council to confound and mystify the faithful forever. | | | The problem the doctrine of the Trinity was attempting to solve was how these Jewish monotheists who brought the Gospel to the Gentile world could maintain that monotheism, that God is One, while speaking of Jesus as God in human flesh, God incarnate. | | | There is a certain logic to designating this day Trinity Sunday because we have gone through the cycle that moves through the history of God’s revelation in Jesus Christ and presence in the Holy Spirit. |

| | The developed doctrine of the Trinity purports that God exists in three coequal and coeternal elements—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (see creed 1). | | | The Trinity is the doctrine used to explain how Father (God), Son (Yeshua) and Holy Spirit relate. | | | While the doctrine is not explicitly taught in the New Testament, early Christian communities testified to a perception that Jesus was God in the flesh; the idea of the Trinity has been inferred from the Gospel of St. John. |
