Dear Parishioners,
There are certain things in this world that defy description. There are physical and spiritual wonders that boggle the mind. They are truly impressive and life would never be the same without them. We can and do stand in wonder of them, often times going miles out of our way just to look in awe and amazement.
Sometimes, those wonders are miraculous and right in front of our faces, yet we don’t see them and if we do, certainly don’t understand them. This Sunday, the Feast of the Holy Trinity is one of those inexplicable wonders of our faith. Three distinct and equal persons, but one God. Each of the three connected in ways we will never understand but separate in ways they touch and love us as God, the Father/Creator; Son of God/Word made flesh; and Sanctifier/Unifier of love. We don’t understand but we believe. We believe and aspire to join them and live with them for all eternity.
This Monday we commemorate and remember all those who have given their lives in defense of and in service to our country. We thank them for responding to the call of military service and for making the supreme sacrifice. We honor them, remembering their dying in our prayers as we ask God to bless and hold them in His loving embrace forever.
What a wonderful weekend. We remember, we celebrate and we believe in a God who loves us without end, as we commemorate those who have given their all for their friends, family and country. As we ponder God’s Trinitarian presence and love, we thank God for giving us these brave men and women. It truly defies all description.
Love and Peace, Fr. Andy
