The spirit of truth

Jesus said to his disciples: “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.

- 

Gospel John 16:12-15

But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he ‘will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming. He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.

Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.” He wields the sickle at once, for the harrables he did not speak to them, but to his own disciples he explained everything in private.

The Trinity, an integral unity of love

What is common among the words “complete,” “total,” “comprehensive,” “holistic,” “integral” and their related words? It is the idea of completeness, of wholeness, of totality, and not just partial or lacking. This, we believe, can also be a way of looking at the meaning of the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity that we celebrate today: The total, complete, perfect, love of the Triune God towards humanity through the three Persons of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In a sense, these three (Persons) manifest the three “faces” of the Triune God who shows total and perfect love towards humanity.
