Trinity Sunday invites us into one of the great mysteries of the Christian faith: that God is revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — three persons, yet one God. Perhaps the mystery is part of the point. The Trinity reminds us that God is always bigger than our understanding and yet continually draws near to us in relationship, love, and community.
Throughout Scripture, we encounter a God who creates, redeems, and sustains. We know God as Creator of all things, as Jesus Christ who walked among us in love and sacrifice, and as the Holy Spirit who continues to guide, comfort, and inspire the Church today. The Trinity is not simply a theological idea to be solved, but an invitation to live more deeply into relationship — with God and with one another.
As we gather this Trinity Sunday, we also prepare for our Capital Ask in-gathering at Good Samaritan. In many ways, this season of discernment and generosity reflects the communal life to which the Trinity calls us. Together, we care for the gifts entrusted to us — not only for ourselves, but for future generations who will worship, serve, learn, and grow in this place.
Thank you for the prayerful support, thoughtful questions, and encouragement many of you have already offered throughout this process. Our in-gathering this Sunday is an opportunity to bring our commitments and hopes for these important projects forward together as a parish community. If you have not yet had an opportunity to participate, there will still be ways to do so in the weeks ahead.
May this Trinity Sunday remind us that we are created for communion, called into community, and invited to participate in God’s ongoing work in the world.
Blessings,
Father Paul
