Trinity Sunday *
Happy Father’s Day!
The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped 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

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.
~ John Wesley
If I had the influence with the good fairy who is supposed
to preside over the christening of all children I should ask that her gift to
each child in the world would be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it
would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and
disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things that are
artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength.

When the
Father laughs at the Son and the Son laughs back at the Father,
that
laughter gives pleasure,
that
pleasures gives joy,
that joy
gives love,
and the
love is the Holy Spirit.

Sunday after Pentecost: Trinity Sunday
* 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.
