Father's Day, Trinity Sunday, and the day of the Church PIcnic: a wonderful spacious windy gathering of God's people on the beach. The Lord embraces us in the gathering, and we feasted on the liturgy. God comes through in the word preached: One plus one plus one equals One... yes, and the partiality of our knowledge of God, yes... the insufficiency of words, yes....
And further, the anointed listening brings the parent God who both reveals and also leads through such words! "When Ephraim was a child I loved him, and I taught her to walk with the leading strings of love... (Hosea)"
The words about God come from experience and also impart experience that is Love and also Wisdom. The Three-in-One is Father to the fatherless (Ps. 68) the Mother who gathers the chicks (Luke) as we first heard in God's Word.
The Spirit blew over us as we feasted on the Presence in the Sacrament--and then on the fried chicken and salads of the ladies of St. A's. After a while it thundered and the lifeguard made the children get out of the lake, and they cried. Then it started to rain, and we all ran for our cars.
Thanks be to God!
