  • Friends, we come once again to Trinity Sunday. The Church has reflected very deeply on who God is, and this great doctrine of the Trinity has emerged from that speculation. What I want to do is give you, appropriately enough, three ways of approaching this profound mystery.
    Mass Readings:
    Reading 1 - Dt 4:32-34, 39-40
    Psalm - Ps 33:4-5, 6, 9, 18-19, 20, 22
    Reading 2 - Rom 8:14-17
    Gospel - Mt 28:16-20

    Bishop Barron your explanation of this great mystery is truly enlightening. I adopt the explanation of St Augustine. However, even that falls short so I respect your final statement that in the end we need to simply surrender to this great mystery. I surrender to the profound threefold mysteries of the Trinity, the Incarnation and the Resurrection.

And now, it is a mystery, the curtain was drawn back, I glimpsed and now it is gone. That is the way of God and I don’t argue with that.

    Yes, Bishop. When I pray I just pray through faith it is like my parents. My parents are the breadwinner, our care taker and our loved ones. It is just 2 person but they become different "role" in our lives that is how I see the Holy Trinity. When I project an image in my mind I imagine that God who is a beginning when he made the universe and all the glorious entity Resting on Jesus Christ's head and heart and the Holy Spirit, who sometimes become a dove or very omnipresence who makes me feel good when I pray.

    I am not a Christian or a religious person at all. I would describe myself as agnostic and secularist. But I've always considered the mystery of the Trinity as the most attractive aspect of the Christian religion. It's often attacked by non-believers as something silly that makes no sense, but I've never felt that way at all. I see the Trinity as an exercise in humility. It's a way of acknowledging that if God is what we think it is-the infinite and almighty entity that created reality itself-then it is silly and arrogant to assume limited creatures could fully grasp its nature. Creatures being bewildered by the reality of God makes sense to me, and I think Christians are the ones who acknowledge that the best.

      "Catholic Christian" is an oxymoron.
      You either follow (listen to, obey, imitate) Christ OR the pope.
      You cannot follow both, especially because they contradict each other.
      Further, popes *steal* titles from God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
      "Holy Father" is a title used ONCE in the entire Bible and it's when Jesus uses it to address God in John 17:11.
      If that doesn't make you tremble, then I tremble for you.
      And Scripture says JESUS is the head of the church (Ephesians 5:23, Colossians 1:18, 1 Corinthians 12).
      The pope is called "head of the church" in the RCC.
      And he's called "vicar of Christ" (a title first used by Pope Gelasius in the 5thC).
      That means the same as "representative" and is the phrase used about the HOLY SPIRIT in the early church, referencing Jesus's words in John chapters 14 thru 17, especially John 14:16-17.
      Unless you renounce the RCC and follow Christ ALONE (i.e don't jump straight into any Protestant denomination: God will LEAD you to a fellowship of true believers) you will never receive the fullness of a relationship with Jesus.
      Jesus is returning for his BRIDE (the church i.e ekklesia in the Greek New Testament meaning "called-out people").
      Anyone who follows others as well as Christ (popes, denominations, traditions, Luther, Calvin, Ellen White, Joseph Smith, Barron...) is seen by Jesus as being in spiritual adultery.

    I want to tell you the fascinating story about when the Trinity verse was added to the Bible. This is a well-documented fact, detailed in "Whose Word Is It?: The Story Behind Who Changed the New Testament and Why" by Professor Bart Ehrman, an expert in biblical textual criticism.
    In the 16th century, Erasmus, a Dutch scholar, produced the first printed edition of the Greek New Testament. The New Testament was originally written in Greek, but had been translated into Latin over the centuries. Erasmus aimed to create a critical scholarly edition based on Greek texts, relying mainly on late medieval manuscripts from the 12th century.
    Erasmus’s edition of the Greek New Testament was later used by the translators of the King James Bible and other versions until the end of the 19th century. However, the Greek manuscripts Erasmus used were not of high quality and were produced about eleven hundred years after the originals. For example, his main manuscript for the gospels included the story of the woman taken in adultery and the last verses of Mark, which were not part of the original gospels.
    One key passage missing from Erasmus’s manuscripts was 1 John 5:7-8, known as the Johannine Comma, which explicitly supports the doctrine of the Trinity. This passage is found in Latin Vulgate manuscripts but not in the majority of Greek manuscripts. The King James Version includes this verse: "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one."
    Bart Ehrman notes, "The Greek manuscripts that Erasmus used were not of the best quality... produced some eleven hundred years after the originals." Erasmus did not find this verse in any Greek manuscripts he consulted, so he omitted it from his first edition. This omission outraged theologians of his time, who accused him of tampering with the text. Erasmus reportedly agreed to include the verse in future editions if a Greek manuscript containing it could be produced. Consequently, a Greek manuscript was created in the 16th century, likely by translating the Latin text into Greek. Despite his reservations, Erasmus included the verse in subsequent editions.
    These editions formed the basis for the King James Bible and other translations for centuries. The phrase "Textus Receptus" refers to this widely accepted form of the Greek text, despite its reliance on inferior manuscripts. Modern textual scholars now insist on using older and better manuscripts to base the Greek New Testament on scientific principles.
    The Textus Receptus, though still revered by some fundamentalists, is based on late medieval manuscripts, whereas earlier manuscripts, such as the Codex Sinaiticus, do not contain the Johannine Comma or other later additions. Ehrman explains, "This passage... states the doctrine directly and succinctly," but it "was not in Erasmus's primary manuscript or in any of the others that he consulted." This realization challenges the solid basis for the Trinity doctrine in the Bible, making it difficult for some Christians to accept.

    Something that has me so confused, If in Matthew it says to call no one Rabbi or Father why do we call men Fathers of the church? I'm not implying their impact and there usage by God to be a vessel, but why do Catholics (universal) call men Father; say to a man "forgive me Father for I have sinned", asking a man for forgiveness. I am lost on where this comes from. I am lost on where a Pope gets such authority; it doesn't keep me away from God but it does keep away from the building now called a church. We do have modern day Pharisees and Sadducees do we not? Those people with that type of mindset weren't done away with were they?

Thank you a thousand times, Bishop Barron, for believing the faithful are capable of understanding these truths as revealed by the Holy Spirit. God bless you.

    Thank you, Excellency!. I just knew that you would have a sermon that would help to explain this great mystery that is the Blessed Trinity. This morning at Mass, I watched our poor priest try to explain it, and as much as he tried to explain it, as deeply as I listened to his words, only a faint picture came into my mind. It was along the lines of something that I heard you explain in your Catholicism series I believe...that God the father 'breathed forth' the Son, that the Son gazed upon the Father and the love that both had for each other was so vast that it expressed itself as the Holy Spirit. I have kept that image all these years. But now, with this sermon, you have helped my mind to peer more deeply into this mystery which is our God. I know that I will never be able to fully grasp this mystery here on earth, but I now can see more clearly what I am worshipping. God bless you, Bishop Barron!

    Just pondering, could it also be somewhat like… a man, who was once a son, a brother, an uncle, a godfather, who then also became a father himself… one man, the same man, portraying different roles in certain point in his life… with different purpose, yet all delivering, love… to care, to teach, to guide, to help, to provide, to protect, to save… imparting a good reflection to follow. 🤔
    Only this way goes in opposite pattern… from being the son… then becoming a father figure. 🧐
    Everything is all about God, our Almighty Father in heaven, who started it all, made heaven and earth, and everyone, everything on it… with all his power and might, and all of his wonders… rooted in love. 🙏❤️… Who wants us with him, and so it goes… until then. 🙏❤️
    Just saying, this is just me, simply thinking 😊… who believes in God, trust him, have hope and faith in him… for if not for him, and without him, I wouldn’t be here, won’t have anything, won’t be able to do anything at all. For everything that I am, everything that I have and can do, I owe them all to Him. Forever grateful Lord. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

    Absolutely loved Bishop Barron’s elucidation of the Trinity 👍 Every Sunday should be Trinity Sunday, since it has been neglected, to the point where God has been reduced to just Jesus. If we lose sight of the Trinity, we lose sight of God.
    The Trinity as a communion of persons expressed as Speaker, the Word spoken, and the speech shared underlines God as relationship.
    It could also be said that there is a speaker, a listener, and the breath, since no speech is possible without breath.
    There is also the Giver, the giver of thanks for the gift, and the generosity and spirit of the gift.
    Another way of looking at it is: the Mystery or the mythical, the prophetic or the prophetic path, and the energy of spirit in action in the world.
    As Bishop Barron said, the Trinity really is fundamentally real. Once you see the pattern, you begin to see it everywhere.
    From the mysterious silence of the One, comes the Word or Logos, which would not be a relationship without the Spirit.
    Within the Trinity, you have the three faces of God; the 1-2-3 of God that, incidentally gives rise to the Fibonacci number series, which shows up as patterns within nature, and from which we get the Golden Mean, as well as spirals. (I could go off on a tangent about the many spirals in nature and that the pattern of evolution is a spiral, combining both the cyclical and the linear. )
    The very cosmos bears the imprint of the Trinity, which shows up everywhere; think protons, neutrons, and electrons; positive, negative, and neutral electrical wires; solids, liquids, and gases; nouns, verbs, and the descriptive adjectives and adverbs; thesis, antithesis, and synthesis at a higher level than that of the opposites.
    We also bear the image of the Trinity, since there is no “I” without a “we,” and since it is impossible to exist as a person without other people.
    The Trinity opens immense vistas onto the divine.
    My special thanks to Bishop Barron for his interesting, insightful, and inspiring talk on the Trinity.

      I agree with a lot of what you say and believe that science has proven the existence of God. If Plato or Descartes or any of the brilliant thinkers of history had knowledge of the Big Bang beyond theory, they would have worked it all out by now.
      With regards to trinity in nature, you might also consider length, width, height; sine, cos, tan; psychology (Id, Ego, Superego); and universal dimensions beyond L,W,H (our perceptual trinity) to include the trinity of subatomic structure (molecular, atomic, quark) and universal (solar system, galaxy, universe.)
      I would personally like to hear your tangent on spirals and the golden mean, which will probably include fractiles, but I don't know how the Fibonacci sequence and spirals in general fit within a trinity polarity dualistic structure.

    Jesus speaks about "The Holy Trinity" to mystic Maria Valtorta which is written in her book "The notebooks "......He says ....."On saying 'Father,' I was also saying 'Spirit,' for the Father is One with the Spirit, and I am with Them, and whoever blesses One blesses the Three, and whoever is loved by One is in the arms of the Three, for there are not three Gods, but one God alone with a triniform nature and a single unity.
    "Great is the Father; great is the Son; and great is the Spirit. Powerful is the Father; powerful is the Son; and powerful is the Spirit. Holy is the Father; holy is the Son; and holy is the Spirit. To the same degree.
    "The Father comes in his unity generating us. The Son comes with his saving origin. The Spirit comes with his septiform sanctifying flame. They come loving one another and loving and make a humble person, the least of persons, into an eye penetrating into the mystery of God, a mouth speaking the words of God."

    Our carnal minds do not see our self's objectively , we think very highly of ourself and the mind leads to self-righteousness and vain imaginations . A carnal mind thinks only of I ,Me and Myself and to even compare your carnal mind with the Trinity is totally absurd . Jesus Christ went to the Cross to redeem all humanity and to reconcile us back to God the Father .Jesus Christ said I Am The Way ( Not Rome) I Am The Truth ( Not Catholic-ism / Catech-ism I Am The Life and No One comes to God the Father but through Me . Jesus Christ also said :you must be Born Again (spiritually) to enter the Kingdom of God . Also after repentance (not to priest) and Jesus is always ready to forgive we are then receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit and our Spirit that was dead in sin and trespasses comes alive and is reconciled to God the Father. The way of the Catholic Religion is to reach God externally , but Gods plan was and is reaching man-kind through Jesus Christ only . We have to worship God in Spirit and in Truth not with a carnal mind its futile.

    _If anyone's will is to do God's will, _*_he will know whether the teaching is from God OR WHETHER I AM SPEAKING on my own authority_*_ - John 7:17 - ESV_
    _And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone - Mark 10:18 - ESV_
    _Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, _*_to MY GOD and your God_*_ .’” - John 20:17 - ESV_
    _and made us a kingdom, priests _*_to HIS GOD and Father_*_ , to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen - Revelation 1:6 - ESV_
    _The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of _*_MY GOD_*_ . Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of _*_MY GOD_*_ , and the name of the city of _*_MY GOD_*_ , the new Jerusalem, which comes down from _*_MY GOD_*_ out of heaven, and my own new name - Revelation 3:12 - ESV_

There's nothing I would rather choose to do right now then recline and enjoy this homily and your amazing explanation. Then I began to wonder(as my mind so often does). How many Saints in Heaven did'nt know so much of this information or how to view Three Persons in One God, The Trinity? And left it to Mystery. Then Mystery is Good too. I love The Mysteries of our Faith and I love the homilies! Thank you, Bishop Barron!!

Some time ago it was much easier for me to understand how God can be three, yet one, when I realize, not by my own ability but by the nudging of the Holy Spirit, that each human being is comprised of two separate, unique, beings who act as one, their body and soul. If we humans understand we are two in one, then how big of a step is it to understand the Creator of the Universe can be three in one? Thank you Bishop Barron and may you be greatly blessed by doing the Lord’s work.
