After Pentecost the Church enters Ordinary Time, that is, counted time in which every Sunday is a celebration of the Resurrection. Initially, however, we have a number of feasts which amplify and elaborate the mystery which have have encountered during the Easter season. In a way it is a communal experience of mystagogia, that is, a reflection and deepening of understanding that comes from experiencing the sacraments and the mysteries of the faith. Today we celebrate the feast of the Most Holy Trinity. To articulate and understand the revelation of God as an infinite dynamic synthesis of eternal, personal and unadulterated love is beyond us. God must be experienced rather than explained or described. Let us ask the Holy Spirit into our hearts so that we may experience God's love and in doing so become participants in the cosmic dance (circumincessio) that is the Holy Trinity. It is this amazing God into whom we have been baptized and who we are to follow by making disciples of all nations starting with our own communities knowing that the one who has called us is also with us: "And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Mtt 28: 20)
