Trinitarian Dynamics

In today’s gospel, we have a glimpse into the Trinitarian mode of living. The Spirit offers nothing new: He would only take what is Christ’s and make it intelligible to us. And, what does Christ have? Nothing other than what the Father has. This is what the Trinitarian life is: An unending procession of total and absolute giving. The Father gives everything he has and is to the Son; the Son gives everything he has and is (which comes from the Father) to the Spirit. And, the Spirit pours forth what he has and is into us.  So, what should we do? We are invited to continue this Trinitarian procession: Pass on what we have received from God via Spirit to our sisters and brothers, holding nothing back. In such giving, we glorify God and we become like Him, the ultimate ‘Project Human’ God has dreamed for us.
