We are forever understanding the Trinity (Lynn Cooper)

   Do you really understand the Trinity? Who could possibly say yes?

   Here’s the thing. It’s a mystery. The triune God – one in three. Difference is what defines the Trinity.

   In his book The Divine Dance, Richard Rohr says that it is not that the mystery is something we cannot understand, it’s that we are forever understanding it. On Trinity Sunday, we are invited to dwell in this reframing of mystery – the forever understanding – and consider…

   How have joy and sorrow from your past year redefined your relationship to the Trinity?

   How might we use the Trinity as a way to deepen our work for justice, honoring difference and diversity as holy?

   How might we make space to listen to and carouse with the Spirit, allowing everyday sacramental moments to break open our faith so we may remember, once again – in body and spirit – that God is a verb?
