Feast of the Most Holy Trinity (2020)

But the close scrutiny of reason can never disclose the Trinity. That is the exclusive privilege of supernatural Faith, given only by Christ’s grace. Even though a man arrives with certainty at the knowledge of God’s existence, still, the knowledge of the Trinity would be as far from him as the mastery of calculus is from a dog. Mere certitude in God’s existence, while praiseworthy, furnishes scant comfort to man’s deepest yearnings.

Every Catholic Church is the New Jerusalem, reflecting the words of Our Savior in that inspired book, “Behold I make all things new.” (Rev. 21:5). Make no mistake, this ‘newness’ is not novelty. Novelty is arsenic to the Mystical Body of Christ.
