Today, the liturgy invites us to worship the Most Holy Trinity, our God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One only God in three Persons, in whose name we have been baptized. By the grace of Baptism, we are called to participate in the life of the Most Holy Trinity down here, in the darkness of faith, and, after death, in eternal life. Through the Sacrament of Baptism, we have been made partakers of the divine life, becoming children of God Father, brothers and sisters in Christ, and temples of the Holy Spirit. In Baptism, our Christian life began, receiving the vocation to sanctity. Baptism makes us belong to the One who is supremely Holy, the "three times Holy" (cf. Is 6:3).

The gift of sanctity received in Baptism calls for fidelity to a task of evangelical conversion that must always guide the life of God's children: "This is the will of God, your holiness: that you refrain from immorality" (1 Thess 4:3). It is a commitment that affects all the baptized. "All the faithful of Christ of whatever rank or status, are called to the fullness of the Christian life and to the perfection of charity " (Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium, n. 40).

If our Baptism was the true entrance into the holiness of God, we cannot be content with a mediocre, routine, and superficial Christian life. We are called to perfection in love, as Baptism has introduced us into the life and intimacy of God's love.

With deep gratitude for the benevolent plan of our God, who has called us to participate in His life of love, let us worship and praise Him today and always. "Blessed be God the Father, and His only Son, and the Holy Spirit, for He has shown mercy to us" (Entrance Antiphon of the Mass).
