COME, LET US ADORE!
POPE FRANCIS ANGELUS ST PETER'S SQUARE FEAST OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY Today, the Feast of the Holy Trinity, the Gospel of St John gives us part of the long farewell discourse pronounced by Jesus shortly before his Passion. In this discourse, he explains to the disciples the deepest truths about himself, and thus he outlines the relationship between Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus knows that the fulfillment of the Father’s plan is approaching and will be completed with his death and resurrection. Because of this he wants to assure his followers that he won’t abandon them, because his mission will be prolonged by the Holy Spirit. It will be the Holy Spirit who continues the mission of Jesus, that is, guide the Church forward. Jesus reveals what this mission is. In the first place, the Spirit guides us to understand the many things that Jesus himself still had to say (cf. Jn 16:12). This doesn’t refer to new or special doctrines, but to a full understanding of all that the Son has heard from the Father and has made known to the disciples (cf. v. 15). The Spirit guides us in new existential situations with a gaze fixed on Jesus and at the same time, open to events and to the future. He helps us to walk in history, firmly rooted in the Gospel and with dynamic fidelity to our traditions and customs. But the mystery of the Trinity also speaks to us of ourselves, of our relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In fact, through baptism, the Holy Spirit has placed us in the heart and the very life of God, who is a communion of love. God is a “family” of three Persons who love each other so much as to form a single whole. This “divine family” is not closed in on itself, but is open. It communicates itself in creation and in history and has entered into the world of men to call everyone to form part of it. The trinitarian horizon of communion surrounds all of us and stimulates us to live in love and fraternal sharing, certain that where there is love, there is God. Our being created in the image and likeness of GodCommunion calls us to understand ourselves as beings-inrelationship and to live interpersonal relations in solidarity and mutual love. Such relationships play out, above all, in the sphere of our ecclesial communities, so that the image of the Church as icon of the Trinity is ever clearer. But also in every social relationship, from the family to friendships, to the work environment: they are all concrete occasions offered to us in order to build relationships that are increasingly humanly rich, capable of reciprocal respect and disinterested love. The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity invites us to commit ourselves in daily events to being leaven of communion, consolation and mercy. In this mission, we are sustained by the strength that the Holy Spirit gives us: he takes care of the flesh of humanity, wounded by injustice, oppression, hate and avarice. The Virgin Mary, in her humility, welcomed the Father’s will and conceived the Son by the Holy Spirit. May she, Mirror of the Trinity, help us to strengthen our faith in the trinitarian mystery and to translate it in to action with choices and attitudes of love and unity. Sunday, 22 May 2016 214-3

de despedida pronunciado por Jesús poco antes de su Pasión. En este discurso, explica a los discípulos las verdades más profundas sobre sí mismo, y así describe la relación entre Jesús, el Padre y el Espíritu Santo. Jesús sabe que el cumplimiento del plan del Padre se acerca y se completará con su muerte y resurrección. Por eso quiere asegurar a sus seguidores que no los abandonará, porque su misión será prolongada por el Espíritu Santo. Será el Espíritu Santo quien continúa la misión de Jesús, es decir, guiar a la Iglesia hacia adelante. Jesús revela lo que es esta misión. En primer lugar, el Espíritu nos guía a comprender las muchas cosas que Jesús mismo tenía que decir (Jn 16, 12). Esto no se refiere a doctrinas nuevas o especiales, sino a una comprensión completa de todo lo que el Hijo ha oído del Padre y ha dado a conocer a los discípulos (vv. 15). El Espíritu nos guía en nuevas situaciones existenciales con una mirada fija en Jesús y al mismo tiempo abierta a los acontecimientos y al futuro. Nos ayuda a caminar en la historia, firmemente arraigada en el Evangelio y con fidelidad dinámica a nuestras tradiciones y costumbres. Pero el misterio de la Trinidad nos habla también de nosotros mismos, de nuestra relación con el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo. De hecho, a través del bautismo, el Espíritu Santo nos ha colocado en el corazón y en la misma vida de Dios, que es una comunión de amor. Dios es una "familia" de tres personas que se aman tanto como para formar un solo todo. Esta "familia divina" no está cerrada en sí misma, sino que está abierta. Se comunica en la creación y en la historia y ha entrado en el mundo de los hombres para llamar a todos a formar parte de él. El horizonte trinitario de comunión nos rodea a todos y nos estimula a vivir en el amor y el compartir fraternal, seguros de que donde hay amor, está Dios. Nuestro ser creado a imagen y semejanza de Dios-Comunión nos llama a entendernos como seres-en-relación ya vivir relaciones interpersonales en solidaridad y amor mutuo. Tales relaciones se desarrollan sobre todo en la esfera de nuestras comunidades eclesiales, de modo que la imagen de la Iglesia como icono de la Trinidad es cada vez más clara. Pero también en todas las relaciones sociales, desde la familia a las amistades, hasta el ambiente de trabajo: son oportunidades concretas que se nos ofrecen para construir relaciones cada vez más humanas, capaces de respeto recíproco y amor desinteresado. La fiesta de la Santísima Trinidad nos invita a comprometernos en los acontecimientos cotidianos a ser levadura de comunión, consuelo y misericordia. En esta misión estamos sostenidos por la fuerza que el Espíritu Santo nos da: cuida el cuerpo en su humanidad, herido por la injusticia, la opresión, el odio y la avaricia. La Virgen María, en su humildad, acogió la voluntad del Padre y concibió al Hijo por el Espíritu Santo. Que ella, Espejo de la Trinidad, nos ayude a fortalecer nuestra fe en el misterio trinitario y a traducirlo en acción con opciones y actitudes de amor y unidad.” Domingo, 22 de Mayo de 2016
