Meditación del Evangelio
Friday, June 13, 2025
Un solo Dios Trino, pero no solitario, sino comunitario. El misterio de la Santísima Trinidad es eterno, y si bien no lo comprendo del todo en mi corazón, por mi fe siento que es único y verdadero; me da vida como Padre, me ayuda y acompaña en mi jornada como Hijo, y habita en mí como Espíritu Santo, desde mi bautismo.
El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, en el numeral 261, nos dice que “El misterio de la Santísima Trinidad es el misterio central de la fe y de la vida cristiana. Sólo Dios puede dárnoslo a conocer revelándose como Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo”.
- ¿Cómo te relacionas con Dios Trino?
- ¿Cuál de las Tres Divinas Personas invocas en tu oración?
“La fe católica es esta: que veneremos un Dios en la Trinidad y la Trinidad en la unidad, no confundiendo las personas, ni separando las substancias, una es la Persona del Padre, otra la del Hijo, otra la del Espíritu Santo; pero del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo una es la divinidad, igual la gloria, coeterna la majestad” (Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica numeral 266).
El amor de Dios es infinito y misericordioso, y su deseo es que el pueblo santo participe y goce de su misma vida divina. Por eso, es importante que, como discípulos, anunciemos la Buena Nueva del Evangelio, que es la salvación. Gloria al Padre, al Hijo, y al Espíritu Santo, sea siempre nuestra oración al despertarnos y al concluir el día.
Gospel Meditation
I am amazed at how my four siblings teach their many kids in ageappropriate ways. For example, now that my nephew Brandon is 24 years of age, they give him insights and freedoms that would have been positively confounding or even dangerous when he was a toddler. Imagine if they had taught him at age four how to drive a car, use a credit card online, or handle power tools. But eventually, they did, and he is a high functioning young man, I’m proud to say. They are good teachers.
This week we learn that Jesus teaches us in a similar way. He says to his Apostles, “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now” (John 16:12).
How disappointing for them. But imagine
at that moment, before his
resurrection and ascension, if the
Lord had started telling them about
synods and sacraments, popes and
parishes, martyrs and monasteries,
rosaries and relics, catechisms and
crucifixes?
They would have been
absolutely overwhelmed, confused,
and discouraged. He tells them what
they need to know, when it is time
for them to know it.
So he does for us. Jesus has unceasingly taught the Church as she matures through the centuries, just as he teaches you and me through our lives in ways we can understand. Our task should be to learn what he is teaching us now, knowing that (although revelation per se is complete in him and his Apostles), he never ceases to teach us as we spiritually mature. Be confident: he knows what you are ready to learn now.
