Human beings don’t handle “triangles” well. When someone finds themselves caught between two others—mediating opinions, absorbing tension, carrying unspoken expectations—we say they’ve been triangulated. It’s exhausting, confusing, and often painful. That’s because each of us brings our own desires, preferences, wounds, and perspectives into relationship, and navigating the space between others can feel like walking a tightrope strung between competing truths. And yet—at the very heart of our faith is a holy mystery: the Divine Triangle. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One in Three. Three in One. The Trinity.

Trinity Sunday arrives just after Pentecost, inviting us to dwell in the sacred mystery of God's being. This isn’t a triangle that fractures or competes—it flows. Unlike human triangulation, which often spirals into tension, avoidance, or power struggles, the Trinity reveals a living relationship marked by love, mutual indwelling, and relational wholeness. The Father delights in the Son. The Son yields to the Father. The Spirit moves between them, binding them in unity and sending love into the world.

The mystery of the Divine Triangle doesn’t call us to escape the complexity of relationships—it invites us into them through the rhythm of grace, humility, and love. We are not asked to solve every tension but to live faithfully within them, trusting the Spirit to hold and heal what we cannot.

As we step into this holy mystery, may we imagine what it means to pattern our life not after the broken triangles of human conflict, but after the divine dance of communion—where love is shared, not hoarded; where power is mutual, not imposed; and where each person finds their place, fully seen, fully known, fully loved.
