Today we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. In the Catechism, we have more wisdom about God and the world than the
very wisest person who lived before Christ. Before Christ, wise and self-disciplined people learned about God from the outside - from
reflecting on the beauties of creation, for example, or thinking about human experience philosophically. This is what the great religious
thinkers of antiquity did - Buddha, Zoroaster, Plato and Aristotle... They dedicated themselves to looking at God from the outside. And they
learned a lot.
There is a lot of truth in what they discovered, just as there would be a lot of truth in what an FBI agent would discover about you or
me if he put us under surveillance for a while. But if we were to sit down with that agent and honestly tell him everything he wanted to know
about ourselves, he would make much more progress much more quickly. And that's what God has done through Jesus Christ.
He wasn't satisfied with being known partially and doubtfully, the only way our external human efforts could lead us to him. He
wanted to let us into his heart, to reveal himself to us, to show and tell us about his nature, essence, thoughts, and desires. He has given us the
inside story about himself. This story is told in the Bible, and it is explained in the Catechism. Through our faith in Christ, the Holy Spirit
enables us not just to know about God, the way we know about someone through a magazine article, but to know God, the way we know a
friend.
And what is the central characteristic that we discover about God?" That he is dynamic, personal, and involved in our lives - in short,
that he is a Trinity: one divine nature, and three divine Persons.
Here is how Pope Benedict expresses it:
"Thanks to the Holy Spirit, who helps us understand Jesus' words and guides us to the whole truth (cf. Jn 14:26; 16:13), believers can
experience, so to speak, the intimacy of God himself, discovering that he is not infinite solitude but communion of light and love, life
given and received in an eternal dialogue between the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit - Lover, Loved and Love, to echo
St Augustine." Benedict XVI, Angelus, 11 June 2006
No one understood this better than Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity. She grew up in France in the late eighteen hundreds, the daughter
of a successful military officer who died of a heart attack while she was still only a girl. She was an extremely strong-willed and
temperamental child. Her frequent fits of rage were almost uncontrollable, and she was known as the "little devil." This began to change after
her first Communion, when she was eleven; that afternoon she met for the first time the prioress of the nearby Carmelite convent. The nun
explained that the girl's name, Elizabeth, meant "house of God," and wrote her a note that said: "Your blessed name hides a mystery, accomplished on this great day. Child, your heart is the House of God on earth, of the God of love."
From then on, recognizing that God had taken up residence in her soul, she waged a holy war against her violent temper. She didn't
win overnight, but she did win, eventually, and she also discovered her vocation to become a Carmelite herself. Her mother didn't like the idea,
however, and made her wait until she was twenty-one. She won friends of all ages during these years of waiting, singing in the parish choirs,
arranging parish day-care service for families that worked in the local tobacco factory, and also winning several prizes for her skill at the pi-
ano. She died only five years after entering the convent, at the age of 26, after having suffered horribly for months from an extremely
painful disease of the kidneys. But her realization that the Blessed Trinity dwelt within her enabled her to suffer with patience and even with
joy. As she wrote to her mother:
"The bride belongs to the bridegroom, and mine has taken me. [Jesus] wants me to be another humanity for him in which he can still
suffer for the glory of his Father, to help the needs of his Church: this thought has done me so much good."
Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity had discovered the intimate, loving presence of God that he so eagerly wants to reveal to all of us. The reason God has revealed himself to us so thoroughly is because he yearns for our friendship. That's what he created us for! But
friendship is always a two-way street. God has done his part by opening himself up to us. That was what the Incarnation was all about. That is
what the ongoing life of the Church is all about: the sacraments, Church teaching, the sacred Scriptures, even the beauties of nature, God's
first book of revelation... They are all ways God has invented to speak to us, to invite us into an ever deeper personal relationship with
him.But that relationship doesn't happen automatically - friendship never does.
We also have to do our part, which consists in two things. First, being better listeners. It is easy to fill up every minute of every day
with so much noise that we end up leaving Jesus in a little corner all by himself. We constantly need to re-commit ourselves to carving out
times of silence: a visit to the Church on the way home from work, a few minutes reading and reflecting on the Scriptures before the day gets
going, spending some of the morning commute in quiet conversation with the Lord instead of listening to the news... God always has
something to say to us, but most of us have room for improvement in our listening habits.
Second, we need to obey what God asks us to do. God wants our friendship, but is still God. And if we refuse to follow his
commandments, we are rejecting his divine authority - a big obstacle to that friendship. Through a healthy peppering of silence, we hear God's
word better. Through humble, childlike obedience, we heed that word. And hearing and heeding God's word is the shortcut to wisdom,
meaning, and interior peace.
Alleluia. Alleluia!
