"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was in God's presence and the Word was God." During the Latin Masses prior to (and after) Vatican II, these opening words from the Prologue of John's gospel set the parameters of our understanding about one God, three persons, one substance that we understand as two persons bonded together more than we can ever comprehend by the person of the Holy Spirit. Today's homily reflects on this understanding and how we need to model that bond of love by living the same way with each other.
