The Heart of our Faith: The Holy Trinity
Manage episode 365166450 series 2275390
Homily preached by Deacon Matthew Newsome on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Sunday, June 4, 2023, at St. Mary Mother of God Roman Catholic Church in Sylva, NC.
Many struggle to understand why the doctrine of the Trinity is relevant. Sure, it might be of interest to theologians, but what does it have to do, practically, with our lives? I’ll give you three reasons why the doctrine of the Trinity is important.
One: The whole purpose of the Christian religion is union with God, and that requires an understanding of Who and What God is.
Two: We are called to be holy, and to be holy is to be like God, which again requires an understanding of Who and What God is.
Three: We are made in the image and likeness of God, so if we desire to know ourselves, we need to have an understanding of Who and What God is.
For these three reasons we should be very interested in the fact that God has revealed himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three Persons in one God. But how are we to understand it?
