Letter from the Editor //
Dear Sister,
God created the earth so that we might have a relationship with Him, that His creatures may say yes to Him and love Him in return. This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. We contemplate the reality that our God is three Divine Persons in one. The Father is eternally pouring Himself into the Son and the Son eternally pouring Himself out in love in return, and from this endless love the Holy Spirit proceeds. The love is so excessive that our God wanted to create us and share this love with us. The Psalmist asks in wonder, “What is man that you should be mindful of him?” (Psalm 8:5) Before anything was created, His Wisdom was there ready to find “delight in the human race” (Proverbs 8:31).
God created us in His image—to have the likeness of the Trinity, “the love of God has been poured out into our hearts” (Romans 5:5). And as the love is poured into us, we are meant to pour His love into others. The Holy Spirit will help us, showing us how to love others as He loves others. The Spirit “will guide [us] in all truth” (John 16:13), doing so from Pentecost until now and beyond. Jesus has given us all that the Father has given Him (see John 16:14-15). Let us dwell on that truth—let us be covered in God’s love and let it transform us more and more into His likeness, so that we may be crowned “with glory and honor” (Psalm 8:6).
In Christ’s Love,
Susanna
