“I have much more to tell you but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth. He will not speak on his own, but he will speak what he hears, and will declare to you the things that are coming… Everything that the Father has is mine; for this reason I have told you that he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.” From the holy Gospel according to John The great celebration of the Trinity calls us to learn, listen and live in the presence of the creating Father, the redeeming Son, moved by the Spirit. We reflect upon a mystery we cannot fully explain or understand, but worship a loving God who is One, but Three Persons. We profess our faith in this mystery every time we pause and bless ourselves. We speak our faith every Sunday when we recite the creed. Throughout history countless attempts have been made to help us understand a mystery beyond our comprehension, yet the scriptures reveal the presence of our Triune God. What can I do about it? Two common examples might help. As you look at your watch (not a digital one) did you ever wonder how it works? As you put your key to unlock a door, did you ever try to understand the mystery how it works? Today we reflect upon the God who loves us, knows us, supports us, and we struggle to say ‘thank you’ Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
