Sunday Bible Reflection by Dr. Scott Hahn

We often begin Mass with the prayer from today's Epistle: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you." We praise the God who has revealed himself as a Trinity, a communion of persons. Communion with the Trinity is the goal of our worship—and the purpose of the salvation history that begins in the Bible and continues in the Eucharist and sacraments of the Church. We see the beginnings of God's self-revelation in today's First Reading, as He passes before Moses and cries out His holy name. Israel had sinned in worshipping the golden calf (see Exodus 32). But God does not condemn them to perish. Instead He proclaims His mercy and faithfulness to His covenant. God loved Israel as His firstborn son among the nations (see Exodus 4:22). Through Israel—heirs of His covenant with Abraham—God planned to reveal himself as the Father of all nations (see Genesis 22:18). The memory of God's covenant testing of Abraham—and Abraham's faithful obedience—lies behind today's Gospel. In commanding Abraham to offer his only beloved son (see Genesis 22:2,12,16), God was preparing us for the fullest possible revelation of His love for the world. As Abraham was willing to offer Isaac, God did not spare His own Son but handed Him over for us all (see Romans 8:32). In this, He revealed what was only disclosed partially to Moses—that His kindness continues for a thousand generations, that He forgives our sin, and takes us back as His very own people (see Deuteronomy 4:20; 9:29). Jesus humbled himself to die in obedience to God's will. And for this, the Spirit of God raised Him from the dead (see Romans 8:11), and gave Him a name above every name (see Philippians 2:8-10). This is the name we glorify in today's Responsorial—the name of our Lord, the God who is Love (see 1 John 4;8,16).

Solenidade da Santíssima Trindade

A Solenidade que hoje celebrámos não é um convite a decifrar a mistério que se esconde por detrás de “um Deus em três pessoas”; mas é um convite a contemplar o Deus que é amor, que é família, que é comunidade e que criou os homens para os fazer comungar nesse mistério de amor. A primeira leitura sugere-nos a contemplação do Deus criador. A sua bondade e o seu amor estão inscritos e manifestam-se aos homens na beleza e na harmonia das obras criadas (Jesus Cristo é “sabedoria” de Deus e o grande revelador do amor do Pai). A segunda leitura convida-nos a contemplar o Deus que nos ama e que, por isso, nos “justifica”, de forma gratuita e incondicional. É através do Filho que os dons de Deus/Pai se derramam sobre nós e nos oferecem a vida em plenitude. O Evangelho convoca-nos, outra vez, para contemplar o amor do Pai, que se manifesta na doação e na entrega do Filho e que continua a acompanhar a nossa caminhada histórica através do Espírito. A meta final desta “história de amor” é a nossa inserção plena na comunhão com o Deus/amor, com o Deus/família, com o Deus/comunidade.

Portal Dos Dehonianos

Reflexión Bíblica Dominical del Dr. Scott Hahn:

Frecuentemente comenzamos la Misa con la oración tomada de la epístola de hoy: "La gracia de nuestro Señor

Jesucristo, el amor del Padre y la comunión del Espíritu Santo estén con ustedes". Alabamos al Dios que se ha revelado

a Sí mismo como Trinidad, como comunión de personas. La comunión con la Trinidad es la meta de nuestra adoración

y el propósito de la historia de la salvación que comienza en la Biblia y continúa en la Eucaristía y en los sacramentos

de la Iglesia. En la primera lectura vemos los inicios de la autorevelación de Dios, cuando pasa frente a Moisés y

proclama su nombre santo. Israel había pecado en adorar al becerro de oro (cf. Ex 32). Pero Dios no los condena a

perecer, sino que proclama su misericordia y fidelidad a su alianza. Dios amó a Israel como su primogénito entre las

naciones (cf. Ex 4,22). Por medio de Israel -heredero de su alianza con Abraham-, Dios planeó revelarse como el Padre

de todas las naciones (cf. Gn 22,18). El recuerdo de la prueba de alianza que Dios pidió a Abraham -y la obediencia fiel

de Abraham- es el trasfondo del Evangelio de este día. Al ordenarle a Abraham que le ofreciera su amado hijo único

(cf, Gn 22,2.12.16), Dios nos estaba preparando para la más completa revelación de su amor por el mundo. Así como

Abraham estaba dispuesto a ofrecer a Isaac, Dios no perdonó a su propio Hijo, sino que lo entregó por todos nosotros

(cf. Rm 8,32). Con ello reveló lo que sólo a Moisés fue descubierto parcialmente, que su bondad perdura por mil

generaciones, que perdona nuestro pecado y nos toma de vuelta como pueblo de su propiedad (cf. Dt 4,20; 9,29). Jesús

se humilló a sí mismo hasta morir en obediencia a la voluntad de Dios. Y por esto, el Espíritu de Dios lo levantó de la

muerte (cf. Rm 8,11) y le dio un nombre que está sobre todo nombre (cf. Fl 2,8-10). Ese es el nombre que glorificamos

en el salmo de hoy: el nombre de nuestro Señor, el Dios que es Amor (cf. 1Jn 4,8.16).
