God in Three, Love in One

On Trinity Sunday, we face a mystery. One God. Three Persons. Not a puzzle to crack, but a truth to enter. The Father. The Son. The Holy Spirit. Bound not by form, but by perfect unity. A communion of love so complete, so selfless, it cannot be broken.

Fr Cyril reminded us that we can’t fully explain the Trinity. And we’re not meant to. Because God is not something to be figured out. He is someone to be known. Through faith. Through love. Through the way we live and love each other.

The Trinity is not distant. It is present. Not just above us, but within us. In our families. In our marriages. In the quiet, ordinary places where love is tested and unity is challenged.

Because real love is not a feeling. It is the decision to stay united even when it’s easier to walk away. It is the courage to say “I’m sorry,” and the strength to forgive. It is the grace to give without keeping score. This is what the Trinity shows us. Three Persons, yet never divided. Always one.

But many of us live divided.

Mind and body in two places. Present in church, but thinking of breakfast. Sitting together at home, but worlds apart in silence. Married, but drifting. Parents and children under one roof, yet speaking different languages of the heart.

Where there is no unity, there is no peace.

But unity is possible. The Trinity shows us how.

This Sunday is also Father’s Day. And it cannot be a coincidence. Because if the Trinity is perfect love, then fatherhood is its reflection on earth.

A father is called to be more than a provider. More than a protector. He is meant to be a living sign of God the Father. Not perfect. But present. Not always strong. But always faithful.

Children don’t remember everything we say. But they never forget how we made them feel. Were we kind? Were we just? Were we there?

In a world of distractions, the quiet strength of a father is needed more than ever. When he stands with integrity, his family learns to trust. When he loves his wife well, his children learn respect. When he admits his weakness, they learn grace.

Fathers, you are not just the head of the household. You are the heart. Your presence steadies the home. Your words shape destinies. Your silence, when loving, speaks more than sermons.

And when the family feels divided, it is often the father who must be the first to act. To apologise. To listen. To pray. Because God has trusted you with this sacred task. Not because you are flawless, but because He believes you can carry it with Him.

You were chosen for this.

Not randomly, but by grace.

So today, we honour you. Not just with breakfast or cards, but with prayer. That you may have wisdom for the hard decisions. Courage for the quiet sacrifices. And peace in knowing that even if the world doesn’t always see it, heaven does.

Look to the Trinity.

The Father delights in the Son. He speaks words of love over Him “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” In the same way, a father’s words can either bless or break. Children need to be delighted in, not just disciplined. A father’s voice should be a source of safety and joy.

The Son obeys the Father not from fear, but from love. Their relationship is built on trust. For earthly fathers, this is a call to lead not by power, but by example. Children are more likely to listen when they see a father who also listens to God, to his wife, to them.

The Spirit gives life. He is gentle, but powerful. Present, but often unnoticed. This, too, is the heart of fatherhood, steady, consistent, often in the background, but holding everything together with quiet strength.

The Trinity teaches us that love is not about roles or control. It is about deep unity. Equal dignity. Shared purpose.

That is your model.

That is your call.

And in your home, you are the reflection of that divine love.

Happy Father’s Day.

And may your family be one, as God is one. (BV)
