God's Day

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity:  God's Day.  Finally we stop to give God a day in which we stop to reflect on the Mystery of the Three in One, a concept that far exceeds our ability to comprehend. The Father is not the Son, the Son not the Father, neither one is the Holy Spirit, yet all three are God.  What???  Looking at the Trinity as Relationship helps, for we do understand relationships with one another:  husbands, wives, parents, children, teachers, students, leaders, citizens, friends... We know who we are and what we do.  As we look at the Trinity, we use the words Father, Son...that we understand, but then we say they are equal, equally God...then it begins to blur. We assign "tasks" to them...Father:  Creator, Son:  Redeemer, Holy Spirit: Sanctifier, and again find a bit more "help" and clarification, but the blur remains... The best we can do is to say that God is Love...the love generated between the Father and the Son creates the Holy Spirit and that intense love between the Three is the love the spills over to the creation of the ever-expanding universe and to us.  God's love brought us into being and sustains us and inevitably draws us back to it for all eternity.  Perhaps then we'll have a fuller comprehension of who God is and find the answer to what we seek now,   In the meantime, Let's continue to give praise and thanks to God, the Lover of All.
