At his trial before the Roman prefect Rusticus, St. Justin debated with great skill and eloquence. But his most perfect witness was the shedding of his blood, in imitation of his Lord and for the benefit of the Church, including us here today at St. Paul the Apostle Parish.

Think of the best father-son relationship you know of. Think of the love and even shared sense of identity that defines it. Then take that idea and multiply it by infinity. Whatever result you have, it still falls utterly and entirely short of the relationship between God the Father and God the Son. Because as Jesus says, He and the Father truly are "one"-one God, even while being distinct persons.

Why does this matter? Because today, on Trinity Sunday, we reflect not only on the nature of God, but also his Trinitarian action in human history. Especially the sending of the Son by the Father.

Take a moment today to ponder how utterly incredible this mystery is. Because Jesus is fully human, we sometimes lose sight of his divinity. But he is God indeed. And restating his saving mission in these terms can be helpful: God became man; God endured torture and humiliation on our behalf; God was crucified; and God died. Not in his essence, but in the human nature that truly belonged to the Son.

God truly suffered for us. And what's more, he didn't need to. At all. Because he needs us for nothing. But he loves us. Fiercely and fully. And on Trinity Sunday, we ponder this mystery anew and ask how we can carry that same mission of divine love into the world.

The truth of our Catholic faith--that we are created in the image and likeness of God and called to imitate him in all that we do--has implications for our whole life, including the way we live out our fertility.

The Saint Paul VI Institute knows this better than most. Based in Omaha, Nebraska, the institute specializes in promoting fertility practices consistent with Humanae Vitae, the 1969 teaching of its namesake, Pope Paul VI.

Today is National Hamburger Day. But before anyone starts criticizing the idea of devoting a day to celebrating a cherished dish, let's go to Sacred Scripture to see what it says about tasty food!

Scripture uses images of delicious meals to indicate God's blessings: We read that the promised land is "a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey" (Deuteronomy 8:7-9). Meanwhile, the delight that comes from wisdom is compared to dressed meat and mixed wine (Proverbs 9:1-5). And heaven, of course, is compared to a feast, where the Lord will provide "rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines" (Isaiah 25:6).

See? Food isn't bad. It's a gift from God. So if you happen to be scarfing down a burger today, give thanks to the Lord. And remember that the tastiness of food is merely a hint of the delight that God truly has in store for us!

And we'll check to see if Fr. Frisoni has a favorite burger!
