The first reading talks about the important role of wisdom in the creation of the world and the “delight” wisdom found in humanity.

It’s a weekend for remembering. Some will visit cemeteries to honor their loved ones or those who have given their lives in service to country. On this Trinity Sunday, though, all of us might seek to recapture the memory of the early church struggling its way to clarity about the Jesus event.

Saint Augustine weighed in with his own take on the Trinity. Instead of a catchy tune, he told a love story. Love, he said, requires a lover, a beloved, and the action of love. Because love has these three parts, and God is the greatest love, then God must have three parts.

Let us call on the name of the Lord and ask forgiveness for our sins.

When looking at the readings for this weekend, it’s tempting to play “find the Trinity,” but seriously, connecting the dots between the Persons—God the Father, the Son, and Wisdom/the Spirit—does point to the interconnections between these different faces of God.

One of scripture’s more powerful messages is that God knows creation literally from the inside out—having created it, that’s not surprising!—and has had this intimate relationship since the beginning.

I didn’t need to understand the hypostatic unity of the Trinity; I just needed to turn my life over to whoever came up with redwood trees. —Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith
