Through this mystery we experience our relationship to God: Creator, Savior, and Holy Spirit. This relationship is not easy to understand or to describe. It does not become clearer through analysis. Its complexity mirrors the complexity of all our relationships. We understand our relationships with our spouses, our children, our parents, and our friends only through daily give-and-take, annual rituals, and the life-changing moments we share. We understand our relationships only as we live them. The relationships we have with those we love, and who love us, sustain us through an uncertain and difficult life. This is the Holy Trinity. INCOMPLETE ANSWERS Today s reading from Proverbs describes the power of beginnings, when what is most beautiful and central in our relationship to God is a hope in our minds and the mind of God. When there was nothing but our relationship, there was still power enough to generate an entire world, a heaven and an earth. The psalm that we sing today tells about the power of possibility and responsibility. We are responsible to safeguard what has been created through our relationship. The Letter to the Romans reminds us that we are not alone in this relationship. We endure what seems unendurable because of the hope and grace that are part of our relationship with our Savior and the Holy Spirit. Finally, John emphasizes that not even death itself will end our relationship with the One whom we love and who loves us. Our relationship with God Creator, Savior, and Holy Spirit is one in which all is possible, all is given, and all is lived fully. This is the Holy Trinity. Today s Readings: Prv 8:22 31; Ps 8:4 9; Rom 5:1 5; Jn 16:12 15 (Worship pgs. 1104)
