Week of May 31, 2026

My Sisters and Brothers in Jesus Christ,

This Sunday, we celebrate the great mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Too often, the Trinity is treated as a problem to solve, a math puzzle to explain, or an abstract doctrine far removed from daily life. But the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not a problem. God is not an object for us to master. God is a living communion of love into which we are invited.

In the Gospel, Nicodemus comes to Jesus in the darkness, searching for understanding. Jesus does not give him a theological diagram. Instead, he speaks of being born from above, of water and the Spirit, and of the Son of Man who descends from heaven. This is the movement of salvation: we do not climb our way up to God; God comes down to us. The Father sends the Son, the Son reveals the Father, and the Spirit gives us new birth and draws us into divine life.

Please know that we continue to pray for your intentions. You are welcome to share any prayer requests, burdens, thanksgivings, or hopes you would like lifted up before God. We entrust them to the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit.
​
This week, let us not merely think about the Trinity. Let us allow the relationships of the Trinity to permeate our lives and hearts. May our homes, friendships, communities, and ministries become places of communion, mercy, self-giving love, and peace.
Peace,
Rev. Ben
