The Most Holy Trinity

From Deacon Dick~

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

As we entered this sacred space today, we dipped our fingers into the holy water and traced the sign of the Cross on our bodies with the words:  “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”  These life giving watersremind us of our baptism into the mystery of the Trinity.  We profess:

Father/Creator as the God in whom we live, and move, and have our being.

Jesus the Christ, as Son, whom we acknowledge as “God with us.”

God’s Spirit who stirs divine life within us and enables us to live a life of grace.

In your daily life, how have you experienced this mystery of God?  How have youexperienced Jesus promise at the end of Matthew’s Gospel:  “Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”  How comfortable are you with living with mystery. May we hearken to Herbert O’Driscoll’s words:  “We do not think about the Trinity as much as experience it.  Only then do we understand.  And here is the paradox, that we understand the Trinity most when we realize that we do not understand.”
