from Taste & See · host Zac Wierschem
This episode reflects on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity through John 3:16–18 and The Hospitality of Abraham by Andrei Rublev, revealing the Trinity not as an abstract doctrine but as a divine communion of love that invites us into relationship. Through the symbolism of the icon—especially the open place at the table—the listener is encouraged to see themselves personally welcomed into the life of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, especially through the Eucharist and the Mass. The episode culminates in an examen that helps listeners reflect on God’s deeply personal love by placing their own name into John 3:16 and discerning how to respond more fully to God’s invitation.Reflection QuestionsWhen you hear John 3:16, what changes in your heart when you place your own name into the verse instead of “the world”?In what moments recently have you experienced God’s love in a personal way?Which Person of the Trinity—Father, Son, or Holy Spirit—do you find easiest to relate to?
