Have you ever had the experience just after a season when you’ve hosted a number of guests or sleepovers, attended many celebrations, gone to church a number of times, like in Holy Week and Easter, or been traveling a lot. You’ve loved it all, made precious memories, enjoyed old and new friends or family, and then the last guest leaves, the traveling ends, the school or the new year begins, and you say, perhaps with a sigh of relief, OK we can get back to normal again.
Trinity Sunday really is one of my favorite Sundays. Not because I understand it but because I believe it gives us a model of how we are to live in relationship and community that is inspiring and empowering. This year I am busy reading Richard Rohr’s book on the Trinity, ‘The Divine Dance’. It’s outstanding. It puts together for our day, the wisdom of the mystics through the ages, who understood the Trinity in a relational way and shed more light on who and how God is, than the theologians and their philosophical arguments.
