One of the Most Known Verses in All of Scripture

About this sermon

In today’s homily for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Fr. Chris Alar reflected on John 3:16 and the mystery of God’s love: “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.” The Father’s plan from the beginning was not only for one people or one nation, but for the salvation of the whole world. God’s love and mercy are offered even to those who reject Him, ignore Him, or fail to love Him in return. True love always involves sacrifice. Without sacrifice, there is no true worship, because authentic love holds nothing back. Christ proved His love on the Cross by giving everything for us. In the same way, we are called to love God by offering Him every moment of our lives. If we go through the day ignoring God, we become like a tree with leaves but no fruit — outwardly alive, but spiritually empty. Fr. Chris also reminded us that love must be total and generous. When we hold back from God or from the full gift of ourselves, we miss the fullness of true love. The perfect offering of love is to give God our whole heart, our whole day, and our whole life. On this Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, we are invited to imitate the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: a love that gives completely, sacrifices freely, and holds nothing back.
