Trinity Sunday
Celebrates the end of our journey when we will experience the fullness of life in God’s Kingdom.
Having celebrated all the great feasts from the annunciation through the birth of Our Saviour, highlighting the response of the Kingdom of Darkness and the forced journey of the Holy Family into Egypt. Then commencing with His baptism, Jesus begins the process that leads us to salvation and the fulness of life in God’s Kingdom.
Soon we will return to that journey as we again celebrate what we call “the ordinary”, the cycle leading us to our salvation and the fulness of life in God’s Kingdom. It is through the ordinary cycle that we grow in faith and faithfulness; the great challenge . As a priest it will be my fifty first cycle, and while on earth, sadness is part of our experience. In my earliest years I was full of hope and purpose, it was shortly after the Second Vatican Council, and there was a great focus on it. Our Professor of Theology, Fr Seamas Ryan, was truly inspirational, and continues to inspire me and I hope all of us, as we face the new challenges, our emphasis will be on communities of faith.
