The Trinity dwells in us from the day of baptism, with the help of priests: Pope Benedict XVI

(May 31, 2010) "The divine Trinity dwells in us from the day of Baptism and as the minister says: 'I baptize you in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit',” said Pope Benedict XVI. He was addressing the pilgrims assembled in St Peter’s Square on Holy Trinity Sunday, 30^th of May for the Angelus Message. The Holy Father did not seek to explain the mystery of God with theological or philosophical reflections, but quietly indicated the Trinitarian presence in Christian life. "The mind and language of the human,” said the Pope, “are inadequate to explain the relationship between Father, Son and Holy Spirit." Every time we make the sign of the cross, he added, we remember "the name of God in whom we were baptized." Consciousness and experience of the Trinity is deepened by the priest, said the Pontiff. Referring to the feast day Gospel, where Jesus promised the Apostles that "when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth," the Pope said that this is what happens in the Sunday liturgy, when priests dispense from week to week, the bread of the Word and the Eucharist. After the Marian prayer, Pope Benedict XVI recalled that on this Trinity Sunday, of the beatification ceremony of Maria Pierina De Micheli, religious sister of the Institute of the Daughters of the Immaculate Conception in Buenos Aires, in the basilica of St. Maria Maggiore in Rome. She was born in 1890 in Milan and at 23 she started devoting her time to educational service in Argentina and Italy. The Lord gave her extraordinary devotion to his Holy Face, which always sustained her during times of trial and illness. She died in 1945 and her remains were laid to rest in the Institute of the Holy Spirit in Rome. Greeting pilgrims, the Pope asked for their prayers for his apostolic visit to Cyprus June 4 to 6, where he will present the working guidelines in preparation for the Synod of the Churches of the Middle East in October.
