Reflection - The love of three
Trinity Sunday reminds us that we are only glimpsing
part of a larger picture. The ‘spirit of truth’
will lead us to the complete truth. We know instinctively
that we are made for community. We exist because our
birth parents came together and loved us into existence.
No infant survives without touching and feeding. No
adult lives humanely without human friendship. In
all our grafting and acquiring, we ultimately build
not for ourselves, but for each other. So, if the
love of two human beings created us, the love of the
divine three-Father, Son and Spirit will bring us
ultimately home. Celebrate that love today.
Deaths
We pray for the recently deceased:
Patrick Williamson, Water Street
and Kent. May he rest in peace.
