Abstract

Every year, there is one Sunday to celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. This means that every year, priests have the opportunity to give a homily or sermon in order to explain for their flock the meaning of the Triune God. With a 10-minute time limit for homilies set by Pope Francis, it is important for preachers to find a balance between simple delivery and rich theological reflection. How to do it? This research analyzes Pope Francis' sermons and homilies on the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, over a period of 10 years (2013-2023), to understand how the Pope offers a theological synthesis of the Triune God concept. This research consists of three parts: collecting and reading the Pope's sermon as primary data, processing and analyzing it in-depth, then finally figuring out the theological influences to the Pope's views and teachings about the Holy Trinity, especially Ignatian spirituality. This research shows that Pope Francis offers a balanced and easy-to-understand reflection on the Triune God, Christology, and soteriology. From the Pope's sermons, preachers are reminded to ensure a grounded experience of the Trinity in the lives of the faithful, making the theological concept transformative and at the same time relevant.

Abstract

Members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) are formed with a self-understanding as sinners loved by God. God’s love is the first and foremost impetus for transforming a sinner to repent. This self-image is cultivated through their formative experiences, particularly during the 30-day retreat based on the Spiritual Exercises (SE) of St. Ignatius of Loyola. This article presents the results of a literature-based study of the First Week of the SE. In this section, Ignatius guides retreatants to understand conversion as a dynamic transition from attritio to contritio. The meditative materials provided by Ignatius are intentionally designed to lead retreatants to a deep sense of horror and sorrow for their personal sins, while simultaneously reminding them that they are always loved by God. This approach is rooted in St. Ignatius’ own experience of conversion, especially during his time of ascetic practices in the town of Manresa between 1522 and 1523.
