On this Trinity Sunday, what does the God-story say to us? Jesus, the Preacher of that story in Word and Flesh, tells us that our God is a family. We are invited into that family. And if we live in that family, the one who invites us will be with us always.
I couldn’t help but think that this is a perfect time of year to celebrate Trinity Sunday. It is a time of weddings, First Communions, graduations; it’s a time of family vacations and family reunions. This has already started in my family, and here at St. John and St. Mary, we are between First Communion and Baccalaureate. I have been blessed lately to be with all our kids and grandkids and their great-grandparents. I have been equally blessed to have been with the kids we teach every week and see them with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins—a scene to be repeated at Baccalaureate, except written larger.
As good and strong and loving as we make our families, we reveal the fulfillment of the promise that God is with us always and that our God is a family.
