12 Jun 2022 - Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Cycle C

In the fourth century a lot of people in the Christian world thought the priest Arius had a pretty good take on the Trinity. He said that God came before his Word, so there was a time when Jesus was not. Some Christians even went around crooning: “There was a time when the Son was not.” It became a top hit of the day. But then Saint Athanasius came along and said: “Those who maintain ‘There was a time when the Son was not’ rob God of his Word, like plunderers.” Saint Augustine soon weighed in with his own take on the Trinity. Instead of a catchy tune, he told a love story. Love, he said, requires a lover, a beloved, and the action of love. Because love has these three parts, and God is the greatest love, then God must have three parts. But the last word on the Trinity goes to Saint Gregory of Nazianzus: “No sooner do I conceive of the one than I am illumined by the splendor of the three; no sooner do I distinguish them than I am carried back to the one.” What’s your way of telling the story of the Trinity?
