Trinity Sunday*

Happy Father’s Day!



Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Matthew 28:16-20

The Holy Trinity

MASTER of Flémalle

(b. ca. 1375, Valenciennes, d. 1444, Tournai)

1410

Oil on wood, 148,7 x 61 cm

Städelsches Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt

This panel is one of three paintings in Frankfurt which derive from a dismantled retable whose original appearance is not known. Probably the retable had double wings on each side. The interior could have been painted. The three panels are also the representative work of the artist from Tournai known as the Master of Flémalle, identified as Robert Campin.

The side panels represent St Veronica who holds the cloth marked with the face of Christ, and the standing figure of Virgin Mary who suckles the infant Christ. The third panel, probably from the reverse side of the retable, represents the Holy Trinity in grisaille: God the Father supports the dead Christ and shows the body to the whole community; the Holy Spirit is present in the form of a dove.

The Trinity panel is one of the oldest example of a grisaille* portraying imitation stone sculpture on the exterior of an altarpiece.

 

* grisaille (pronounced “griz-eye”) is a French word meaning gray tones.

Tell me how it is that in this room

there are three candles and but one light,

and I will explain to you the mode of the divine existence.

It always seemed strange to me that
the things we admire in men,
kindness and generosity, openness,
honesty, understanding and feeling
are the concomitants of failure in our system.
And those traits we detest,
sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness,
egotism and self-interest are the traits of success.
And while men admire the quality of the first,
they love the produce of the second.

~ John Steinbeck

Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

June 19 (Trinity Sunday)

Genesis 1:1—2:4a

Psalm 8:1-9

2 Corinthians 13:11-13

Matthew 28:16-20

 

 

*  Trinity Sunday has been celebrated since 1334 when Pope John XX11 fixed it as the Sunday after Pentecost.

The Nicene Creed became official in 325 AD at Council of Nicaea. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) uses this slightly different version as subscribed in their Book of Confessions:

 

NICENE CREED

 

We believe in one God,

the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is,

seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary

and became truly human.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.
