The Trinity
 


The feast of the Blessed Trinity invites us to contemplate him, the Lord; it invites us, in a certain sense, to climb up ‘the mountain’ as Moses did. Although at first sight this may seem to take us away from the world and its problems, in reality we discover that it is precisely by knowing God more closely that we also receive precious practical guidelines for life. Human beings do not achieve fulfillment in absolute autonomy, by fooling themselves that they are God, but on the contrary, by recognizing themselves as children, creatures open to and reaching out toward God and toward their fellow men, in whose faces they see the image of the common Father.
