Dear Friends,
Greetings to you all in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Throughout the world, on this Trinity Sunday, we are celebrating the fact that God has chosen to communicate with us in different ways – as God the Creator – as Redeemer, the Son – Jesus and as Holy Spirit- God’s life in us, while still remaining one God.
It is a mystery that we understand through the gift of faith – and as we grow and as our faith grows, so our understanding of how God communicates with us grows. On this Trinity Sunday, let us spend a moment thinking about the way the three persons of the Trinity draw us into their realms of activity.
How does the creating capacity of God’s work in and through our lives? How do we share in the ongoing work creation, caring for its wellbeing? Where can we see ourselves sharing in the wonder of creating? And what of the work of Christ? How are we ‘completing ‘his work, as Paul puts it? Are there people who God has given us, who are wanting us to speak a word of grace and mercy.
Then there is the realm of the Spirit. How shall our touch, our voice, our deeds and our love be channels of the Spirit’s work? Are we vessels of God, who would move in and through us to the lives of others?
Sometimes we forget that the realms of God are our realms too.
Peace be with you
Fr. Christo
