This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. The Trinity may seem something remote, "out there" or "up there" -- somewhere over the rainbow!
But the truth for Christians is that each of us is baptized "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." In baptism we are claimed for Christ by the Church: we are branded, marked, indelibly tattooed with the triune life of God which we know in the persons of Father, Son and Spirit (in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti).
Baptism marks us daughters and sons of God, sisters and brothers of Christ, drawn by the Spirit to worship the Father of us all.
On this Trinity Sunday may God bless us all: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!

From the first reading from Exodus: "This is indeed a stiff-necked people..." Amazing how apt this still is! I continue to be very upset when I hear of the stiff-necked people among us. I don't understand how they can be so unforgiving, so negative, so unkind. Their behavior is the antithesis of what Christ asks of each of us. How can a stiff-necked people be made to see a new way, a Christlike way of treating our brothers and sisters?
