16 Meanwhile, the eleven disciples were on their way to Galilee, headed for the mountain Jesus had set for their reunion. 17 The moment they saw him they worshiped him. Some, though, held back, not sure about worship, about risking themselves totally. 18 Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: "God authorized and commanded me to commission you: 19 Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 20 Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I'll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”
The Holy Trinity is a mystery. After all is said and done to help us try understand it,
the mystery still remains. Which is the way it should be.
Without mystery God becomes something less then God.
Without mystery life looses something deep and beautiful.
On Holy Trinity Sunday we celebrate this mystery as we worship God the Father, creator of all things; God the Son, Redeemer of all humankind, and God the Holy Spirit, Sanctifier of all who believe. (And maybe even those who don’t seem to believe.)
“Great indeed…is the mystery of our religion.” I Tim 3:16
“I didn't need to understand the
hypostatic unity of the Trinity;
I just needed to turn my life over
to whoever came up with redwood trees.”

Prayer thought for the week: “Lord, the mystery is great; the mystery is beautiful; keep me in awe and alive to mystery.”
