"We worship one God in the Trinity and Trinity in Unity." (Athanasian Creed). We learned a long time ago in our first Catechism that there are Three Persons in one God, and were told it was a Mystery, that is a reality beyond our human logic or ability to comprehend. Since then, as we grow older and ponder this Mystery, it becomes more invitingly comprehensible, teasing our imagination and filling our hearts with love and joy. We now can see more of the universe than ever before and its scope seems to have no end. It makes us feel very small. We have learned more of the "secrets" of the human body through research in genetics, and there seems to be no limit as we delve deeper and deeper into "how it works", this amazing body of ours. At graduations we hear wisdom passed on to the young, and we hear their high and noble ideals; we see their clean, bright faces full of hope, expectation and determination. Their energy, goodness and optimism bode well for and expanding and fertile future despite the shadows and conflicts that have always been part of "the present and the "future." Is not the Presence of God, Creator, manifested in these marvels of creation?
We look to his further manifestation in Jesus, love so overflowing that it took on our human nature and became one with us, and not only that, but endured suffering and death to redeem us from our sins and offered us new life in him. He feeds us with that Body and Blood and assures us that whoever so eats and drinks it will have Eternal life.
And as a guarantee that this life will be continually animated, the Holy Spirit fires us, energizes us, draws us to the Father and the Son. Let us praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever!
