Catholic TV Mass Online June 7, 2020: Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Presider: Fr. Justin Lopina Parish: Sacred Heart and Saint Matthew Choir: St. Elizabeth Ann Seton TEXT FROM THE GOSPEL AND HOMILY The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John. Glory to you o Lord. God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned but whoever does not believe has already been condemned. Because he has not believed in the name of the only son of God. The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ. Obviously, we just heard one of the most familiar quotes from the gospel of John. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. It's a quote that's supposed to invoke a sense of awe and devotion within us. The love of God made as personal and real as it possibly could be. I’m reminded of a burial service I once had in lieu of a full funeral with a Mass. We had an extended prayer service at the cemetery chapel and then we immediately interred the deceased. So a few days before the service I asked the family, “What do you want to hear from sacred scripture? What does everyone need to hear from the bible as we say goodbye to grandpa?” And the daughter, I’m so proud of her, she said “Father Justin, read John 3:16 just in case some people need to hear it again.” A+ answer! Definitely! We do need to hear this from time to time to keep that wonder and awe fresh in our hearts. Now this Sunday I merely wish to help you understand that what we heard in the gospel is a small part of a larger whole that's true for most of the bible of course but this is an especially relevant example. We heard just three tiny little verses from the gospel today, but they should specifically remind us of John 1:1 “In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.” And furthermore, this lesson of John 3:16, that's the part that everybody knows, john 3:16 the actual lesson spans from verse 1 to verse 21. So if you crack open your bible and hear that whole thing, John explains that those who believe are the ones who do good works and live in the light of the Lord and those who do not believe are the ones who live in the cover of darkness which is ideally suited to hide evil deeds. The point here is that the bible needs to be read as an integrated whole not a mishmash of unrelated stories and instructions. John 3:16 is a very powerful verse of the bible, no question about that. But remember it builds on what came before and it's the foundation of what comes next. The great truth of scripture, like the mystery of the trinity, is like a well that never runs dry. Just when you think you know everything there is to know, the holy spirit will surprise you with a new epiphany or insight. And the Gospel of John is certainly no exception to that rule of faith.
