Trinity Sunday

Readings: Deut 4:32-40; Rom 8:14-17; Matt 28:16-20

First thoughts on Trinity Sunday are always about the St. Augustine story. This great mind, a Doctor of the Church, pondering the mystery of the Trinity encounters a boy putting the ocean into a small hole on the beach. The boy (OK, an angel) reminds him of the vastness of the mystery of God. To be considered: The mystery of God and human perceptions.

First and second readings reflect a theme of intimacy. Moses asks "has any God been as close as the Lord has been to them"? Paul goes even further in reminding the Romans we are "children of God" and call God "Abba", our Father. To be considered: Intimacy with God
