I could not help but laugh as I read the
story however the story has stuck with me the last few days and I keep coming
back to it. Taylor writes the story as she is talking about settling into her
first parish as a pastor/rector. It wasn’t easy, there were challenges and
struggles, but this story seemed to reflect an acceptance, a fitting in for
her.
Perhaps that is what this feast of the
Holy Trinity is all about. We celebrate the mystery of God as Trinity, three
persons but one God. Just saying it seems odd. How can we have three persons
but just one God? How can we talk about three individuals yet still only be
talking about one God? In human language it is impossible yet that is what we
believe. We celebrate the gift of three person so connect, so intimate, so focused
that they are one. Believing means that we are part of that one, members of the
relationship, accepted.
We believe in, we celebrate our God
today who is all for one and one for all. Happy Trinity Sunday everyone!
Daily Prayer: Eternal God! A Trinity
of persons, Father, Son, and Spirit, yet one in being, whose presence in our
life we honor today. You are the beginning and end of all things and it is in
and through you that we live and move and have the very breath of life. So
today we come before you in body, mind and spirit to honor and thank you for
the gift of your presence in our lives. What can we offer you, O God, that will
reflect and give thanks for all that you have done for us? All we can do today
is give thanks for your Trinity of Love, and serve you all the days of our
lives. So let each of us bless the Lord, with all our heart, with all our soul,
with all our being and let all that is within us give God thanks this day and
always. Amen!
Runner’s Thought: Remember running
in a different place every once in a while can bring with it a different set of
experiences. Each new setting can provide an opportunity to practice our
spiritual running by helping us to be aware of not only new things around us
but also new things within us. Running in a new place stretches our ability to
find God in our runs, in life and in ourselves!
Happy Feast of the Most Holy Trinity
everyone! I hope you find yourself in the midst of a blessed Sunday and a
relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. The sun has returned to us here in Pelham this
morning but a north wind still blows thus we remain on the cool side. But
warmth is on its way we just have to be patient!
I pray the weather is treating you well
today and throughout this long weekend but if not be patient the rain, wind,
cold or whatever the issue will pass too!
I pray for God’s blessing s upon all of
you today and always. I hope you will be blessed especially this weekend with
the richness of family, friends, warmth, peace and rest. May God truly be with
you and those you love, keeping you safe as you enjoy the gifts of creation.
Remember, “One for all and all for one!” Peace in Christ’s Passion…Fr. Paul
