Weekly reflection
The Most Holy Trinity
This Sunday we celebrate the Most Holy Trinity directing our attention to the very nature and essence of God and how God is revealed to us. Only One God, yet Three Persons, a communion of self-giving Personal Love - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is the reality of our faith that we live from the youngest child being taught to make the sign of the Cross to the most learned theologian. In reflecting on the Mystery of the Trinity we can find both deep peace and consolation. God is the still and stable centre of all reality from the quantum world to the outer cosmos. Yet, God is also Passion and Fire - Self-giving Love - Divine Energy, Holiness, dwelling in unapproachable Light.
The question might be today: is Our God big enough? Or have we reduced God to a distant reality with a bland take it or leave it approach? Do we make of God a slighter bigger version of ourselves just a little bit nicer and polite whilst missing the reality that God is infinitely, overwhelmingly other.
The world at the moment is on fire and many Christians remain in the shallow end of the swimming pool whilst they could be swimming in the deepest waters of the ocean of God's All-Consuming Love. The world would not be the way it is if Christians were who they are called to be.
This week we celebrated with great joy with a number of priests in our diocese who celebrated their Ordination Anniversaries. The Platinum, Golds, Rubies and Silvers made a combined priestly contribution of 450 years!!
And we also remember with deep sympathy and sadness all those who died so tragically in the Ahmedabad air crash. May the Lord grant consolation and peace to all affected.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
God Bless,
Father Simon
