Friends, Trinity Sunday serves as a wonderful opportunity to unpack the life-giving relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Every time we make the sign of the cross, we invoke the power of the Trinity, thereby linking ourselves to the love that God is.

I wish they had taught me this in school….way back when
Hmmm. So the Trinity helps define the Devine love that is God. I’d never really looked at it from that perspective. True love must be given to exist, and must exist to be given.
Bishop Barron, why do the orthodox have a different understanding of the Trinity? They say the Holy Spirit comes only from the Father and not from the Father and the Son, why is that and how do we respond to them?
Absolutely stunning! God bless.
As usual another hit out of the park! Thanks so much.
Thank You so much Bishop R. Barron
Amén❗
Oh my GOODNESS. Absolute truth.
Thank you very much, what a wonderful blessing to joyfully enlighten us deeply on this holiest day!
Great sermon. Great insight by our beloved Bishop. I thought he would mention St. Augustine of Hippo's masterpiece on the Trinity, De Trinitate. In such a short period of time, one simply cannot mention everything that has been written on the mystery of the Trinity. We have just a tiny glimpse of this wonderful BEING. Oh Death, come hastily to be part of this eternal BEING.
I cannot even begin to pretend I understood one thing he said ROFL But Wow okay Love
Love this! A wonderful explanation of the Holy Trinity (as much as it can be explained).
Comment for statistics
God bless you, father.
how can i save myself from my toxic mot sisters family 1relative old freinds
The lover , the beloved , and the loved shared . That makes the concept of the Trinity something I can grasp on. Thank you, Bishop Barron.
You explain complicated things succinctly yet comprehensively. Thank you for not dumbing down your talks (one of your pet peeves). You encourage me to look up words I don't know and to use them when appropriate.
The Ground of Reality…..
What a beautiful image, those who flee from The Father run straight into the arms of The Son. God IS love and love can not be denied. Thank you and God bless you Bishop Barron.
Amen
Very clear, but I think I'll need to listen to this video a few times more to really get it.
Really love that explanation, it speaks to the mind and the heart.
I loved hearing the term “the three I don’t know what’s”. The faithful struggle to explain God’s nature and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit being wrapped up into that single God. Bishop Baron’s discussion is excellent, as other great theologians, as well as many Saints, before him. Yet, I love the final conclusion that the real nature of God, folded in with the Trinity and with perfect love, is still ultimately unknowable to us mortal beings. God is the Trinity, God is perfect love, God is great, but God is also “I don’t know what.” The key is to understand God’s love for us through the clues he’s left in scripture and the teachings of Christ, and, therefore, trust that he has a plan for us.
Thanks be to God
I'm praying for you Bishop Barron. God bless you.
that 'stretch'. What a beautiful and clear way to describe everything..thank you!!
Excellent!
Thank you Bishop Barron. I think i need to listen to this a couple more times for it to sink in. My image of the Trinity, though i know it falls short, is the image of a family. You can't be a father without a mother and a child; you can't be a mother without a father and a child; you can't be a child without both a mother and a father. All three are interdependent in order to be a family. I see the family as an image of God. I this a heretical image?
I don't know what to say other than thank you. Bishop Barron
Thank you for your great videos. I haven't go to church for for some time now. I am thinking of going to a parish here..
Amazing amazing he opens my heart and mind
Dear Bishop Baron.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts of good news of our loard Jesus christ the truth of our God in all your
sunday sermons which has helped us in numerous ways increase in our knowledge of god.We thank God how he uses your God given talents to bring us closer to him.
God blesses your lordship and your evangelical work to many many years to contne to serve his flock.
Such a rich and powerful explanation of the Trinity. Thank you Bishop Barron and God bless you!
Number 3: "the number of love". I like it! Thanks Bishop Barron. Regards from Peru.
I don’t recall Christ ever saying that he is the one AND the many at 7:25. I recall Christ quoting Deuteronomy 6:4-9 “hear oh Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.” When you add the “and” you say there is 1 God in 3 divine persons… and… the many others. As if to place our Lord in equal. "the diversity" as you speak, this is blatent blasphemy bishop Barron. You build a premise that there is a diversity that exists with the holy trinity… "yes" as if we should accept this.. NO. Any Jew at any point in time, would call that blasphemy. Without hesitation. Any and all Christians should be concerned. Which is true? Corinthians 8:4-6, "…that there is no God but one… Yet to us there is but one God the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto them, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." Or in bishop Barrons words there is this: "diversity of the Trinity AND other gods." Paul wrote about this in 1Corinthians 8, dear christians I beg you seek clarification in the scriptures. There is no diversity of our God in equal with other, "for the other God's of the pagans, are demons."
You place a worldly philosophy above the law, and I pray God have mercy on those who listen. James 3, that the spoken word is like the ruder of a ship that directs a ship amidst a storm.
For the sake of the of the sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Dear brother Bishop Barron,
Peace be with you,
May I refute your honor's claim.
Catholic faith is the following:
The Messiah(Jesus Christ)=Father + son + Holy spirit.
3 numerically and 1 in unity.
Monotheism definition is 1 numerically and 1 in unity.
So Catholic faith does not meet the definition.
May Allah grant you and me guidance to find the truth.
How do I pray to God while acknowledging he is 3 persons but avoiding praying to him as though he is 3 separate gods
Thank you,Bishop! That was a lot to digest but really makes me think I shoud be proud to make the sign of the cross each time!!!
Thank you Bishop Barron on helping us to understand more of the relationship of Father to Son who come together through the Holy Spirit. I also heard in another homily that we should not only pray to God but Speak To God, Listen to his Son and ask the Holy Spirit to guide us to service..You made it even clearer how we need the Trinity in our daily life.We need to get closer to the God of Love so that we can grow closer to the Son and with the Holy Spirit helping us to gather this love that is shown in the Trinity. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Trinity by your homily today.
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit be with you as you continue to Spread The “Word” with the people of God.
Pray for me!
God is Absolute Mystery. Karl Rahner
May God bless you for guiding us all to a greater knowledge of God
No wonder there is war, with this mystery makes people mad
