TRINITY SUNDAY – The divine dance

The biggest challenge in approaching a deeper understanding of the nature of God is being Western. Having a Western mind is really useful for science and computing + engineering.

It is really not all that helpful for God. It began with the Greeks who loved making distinctions and treating everything with a dualistic mindset.

ON/OFF. BLACK/WHITE. TALL/SHORT. EMPTY/FULL. LIGHT/DARK. LAND/OCEAN NIGHT/DAY, MALE/FEMALE

Life doesn’t happen until we move beyond binary. Sunrise and sunset and their play of light and darkness. Coral reefs + mangroves. What beautiful spaces.

Trying to solve a 3D problem in 2D. Go beyond the limits of trying to solve the problem and embrace the mystery.

Character of God. Attributes: Wise, loving, strong, good

Personal: wisdom. Lover. Glory. Healer GOD + not GOD

Trinity is an invitation into community; an invitation into love; into the divine dance.

  • First Reading ‡ Proverbs 8:22-31
    Wisdom was born before the earth was made.
  • Responsorial ‡ Psalm 8:4-9
    O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
  • Second Reading ‡ Romans 5:1-5
    To God through Christ in the love which is poured out through the Spirit.
  • Gospel ‡ John 16:12-15
    Whatever the Father has is mine. The Spirit will receive what I give and tell you about it.
