The invitation to meet someone's family is always a good sign. In the missions, in human relationships, even in work settings, the invitation to meet a family is an offer of friendship-or perhaps even more. No sensible person brings an enemy home. On the contrary, only trusted and respected souls are welcomed into a family. In marriage and Christian life, being received into a family also implies fellowship, and love, In Biblical times, being welcomed into a family implied the participation in the family business too. On Trinity Sunday, the Risen Lord reveals or introduces us to His family: The Father of life and Son who redeems us, joined by the Spirit of truth, service and sacrifice. Through the life of faith, we are adopted into this family. Can others see evidence that we are true children of the Father? Siblings of Jesus? Temples and instruments of the Holy Spirit? Can others see that we share in the Divine work of our Heavenly family?
