Most Holy Trinity. The relationship that exists within God (Trinity) also mirrors the relationship that should exist within us as a human community — a relationship of mutuality and support - a relationship of love and respect. Jesus reminds us in the gospel that God travels with us not to condemn but to love ~ to be of help to all of us. Our teaching about God and 
the great mystery of God is a social teaching. As God is a social being, so are we. Any good theology of God has social implications. It calls us to social values. Our religious faith involves a community of mutual support and discovery. It involves a set of values that we share in common and that call us to share with each other. Therefore, we are concerned with the issues of the world and everyday Ufe. We are concerned justice and peace. We focus on the common good. We have hope in the midst of all the problems and challenges of the world. We are concerned about any political and economic power that excludes the poor. We are concerned for the protection of the enviromnent. We are concerned about those attitudes that see people simply as consumers. We are concerned about domestic violence, the violence and war in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and all forms of violence. We are concerned with those who are in need whether it is the people in the Philippines who have been affected by the recent typhoon, or those who have lost jobs here in the United States, or those who are plagued by cholera in Haiti, or those who work in the developing world without a living wage. The life of the community is united with the life of the Trinity.
