Augustine of Hippo described the Trinity as an eternal exchange of love in a relationship: the Father is the Lover, the Son is the Beloved, and the Holy Spirit is the love between the Father and the Son. The Holy Trinity is an eternal exchange of love because God is love and a God who is love cannot help but save both the body and soul at the end of time. In the Gospel, we see this dialogue between Jesus and Nicodemus who came to Him in darkness - a symbol of evil and ignorance - and salutes Him as a great teacher, over the course of this dialogue. Nicodemus would come to know that Jesus has actually come from God. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit did not come before the other. The Three Persons possess the same divine nature without any hierarchy or difference in nature; they are distinct but not separate. The mission of the Trinity is to draw all into the communion of love that exists within. The mission of the Son and the mission of the other two persons in the Trinity is not condemnation but, salvation. May we all reflect this eternal exchange of love in our lives.
