Friends, welcome to Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.

Word on Fire is an apostolate dedicated to the mission of evangelization,

using media both old and new to share the faith on every continent

and to facilitate an encounter with Christ and His Church.

The efforts of Word on Fire engage the culture and bring the transformative power of God's

word where it is most needed.

Today, we invite you to join Bishop Robert Barron as he preaches the gospel and shares the

warmth and light of Christ with each one of us.

Peace be with you. Friends, we come to Trinity Sunday, one of my favorite Sundays of the year.

They often call it the preacher's nightmare. I don't agree with that. I think we should preach

to Trinity all the time because the Trinity is not just a little puzzle for theologians.

It's the heart of the matter in many ways.

Keep in mind, you know, Catholics and Orthodox II, whenever we make this sign of the cross,

what are we doing but we're invoking the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit?

We're invoking the Trinity.

So every time we pray, we pray in the name of the Trinity.

We can't consider that, therefore, a little side concern of a few theologians.

No, no, it's central to the way we pray.

Okay.

So I suppose appropriately, I'm going to propose three images, three models, three ways of getting at this idea of the Trinity.

I'm going to do so by beginning with three things that I think we would all take for granted and say,

well, yeah, of course that's true of God.
