Today's reading from the Prophet Isaiah tells us about the great love of God. Isaiah says "My love will never leave you."
Yesterday evening I got the opportunity to sit in on our high school religious education classes. I joined our Confirmation class for the first 30 minutes and then joined the Freshmen for the final 30 minutes. When I walked into that room they were speaking about the Nicene Creed and attempting to go deeper into the theology that it presents. The Nicene Creed says: "We believe in the Holy Spirit, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son." This line of the Creed presents the love of God to us.
It is only through the Trinity that we can find perfect love. It is through the Trinity that we can see that it is possible to love unselfishly. The Father perfectly loves the Son and this love flows into the Son. What would happen if there were only two persons in the Trinity instead of three? If this were true their love would be exclusive and would not be so great that it is being freely given. This love that is present inside of the Trinity is shared with us daily. No matter where we find ourselves today may we trust inside of this great gift of love and trust that even among our struggles that it is still present and will never leave us.
It will only be a matter of moments before we will come before the Altar of God to receive the gift of love that is found inside of the Eucharist. It will be here that we will receive Christ's Soul and Divinity and thus share His never ended love with us. May we allow this great love to draw us closer into union with Him!
