Trinity Sunday Scripture:
Notes from Fr. Cathie Caimano’s sermon:
A friend and her daughter were walking the Camino de Santiago
Walking on rural roads - churches in each tiny village, all unlocked and open
Stopping in each empty church, singing and praying
They just felt called - they were drawn in.
Today is Trinity Sunday
about a doctrine: foundational framework for understanding the faith.
Christian doctrine:
The Trinity:
Incarnation
Atonement
Salvation by Grace
The Great Commandment/Commission
Early church - first few hundred years. We tried to figure it out
We canonized Scripture, developed the Creeds, and we formed the core doctrine
What does it mean to be Christian?
the point isn’t to understand, it’s to describe
Trying to get a grasp on the shape of this mystery we live inside of - and that shape is always a triangle!
Every time it starts to make sense, it slips right away from us - and maybe that’s the point!
We’re called to embrace the mystery - literally
And we’re called NOT to try and figure it out, but to push into the mystery - to find God’s presence there.
We’re called to be in relationship with the mystery of God
How extraordinary is that!
How? pray, worship, practice, serve. we live what we know
We’re not teaching others about God, we’re inviting others into the same kind of relationship we have with God. by having it ourselves.
My friend on the Camino
months later, getting an email from one of her companions - not a religious person - about how much it meant to him
And after she and her daughter left - they started doing it, too
This is living in the mystery of what has been revealed - and seeing the power of God working through us
