Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday, and move from the Easter Season back into Ordinary Time – the days of discipleship as a church. As we cross this threshold, we root ourselves in the truth of who God is, and who we are called to be.
At the center of our faith is this Trinity who is, in God’s very self, deeply in relationship; Three Persons, united as One in love. This God, who is Abundant Love, pours forth into our world and into our lives, yearning for loving response, calling us to participate in the mission of inviting all of creation into that dance of loving unity. Each and every one of us is made in the image and likeness of this relational God, and we are called to be in loving relationship with God and with one another.
This isn’t a trite, saccharine kind of love. It’s not the kind of love that helps us fall asleep at night, warm and cozy in our beds. It’s a fierce, fiery, energizing, transforming love, that calls us to awaken every morning and go about our days as enfleshers of freedom, and disruptors of every system that obscures God’s love.
