The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

In today’s second reading we hear of Saint Paul’s final appeal to the Christian

community at Corinth to live in peace and harmony with one another as well as to give

one another encouragement.

God made that unity possible, as Paul would have it, through “the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.” Good stewards who share Christ’s life belong to each other, just as God in the three persons of Father, Son and Holy Spirit enjoy unity. We are an intimate part of

God’s divine bond, God’s “family.”

Saint Paul maintains that we ought to act that way. In the Church there is the bond of

family, yet there is plenty of room for variety. Christian stewards use their uniquely varied

gifts to live a Trinitarian faith, in unity, promoting Christ’s peace and justice.

How do we promote unity among our

fellow believers?

What encouragement do we give others?
