Weekly Pause & Ponder

A divine foundation of relationship is what all religion, spirituality, and perhaps even politics, is aiming for.  The Trinity offers us this precise gift – a grounded connection with God, self, others, and the world.  This ancient doctrine dared to affirm that God is relationship itself.  The way of Jesus therefore is an invitation to a way of living, loving,   and relating – on earth as it is in God.  We are intrinsically like the Trinity, living in absolute relatedness.  While we may not recognize it, we are all together in a web of mutual interdependence.  When we recognize it on a spiritual level, we call it love.
