28:19). In the Second Letter to the Corinthians, Paul writes, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Cor 13:13, ESV). And the beginning of John’s Gospel illustrates the idea of the unity of God, saying both that Jesus “was” God and “was with” God.

It’s never adequate to simply think of the persons of the Trinity with mere functional labels like Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier. While those labels are ac- curate enough, they lack any sense of relationship within the Trinity. The Trinity is primarily about the loving relationship at the heart of God’s essence. The passages of John’s Gospel that we read during the Easter season go to great lengths to describe this relational love. To separate the Trinity into functional roles is called Modalism, and it misses an important point: the doctrine of the Trinity describes God’s essence, and God is essentially relational. The Love within God is expressed in ways that mirror God’s Trinitarian nature.

Fact of Faith The challenge for theologians—and all Christians—is that we struggle to talk about God’s infinite, loving, The Trinity relational essence with finite human language, and that language will always be imperfect.

Faith, hope, and love guide us to defend the right to life, to feed and house and clothe the poor, to welcome the stranger, to forgive willingly, and to bear wrongs pa- tiently, in summary, to perform the corporal and spiritual works of mercy that Pope Francis promoted Living the Faith in the 2016 Year of Mercy.

For every $100 spent at a chain store, only $43 comes back. Online purchases bring nothing back to our local community.

3. Keeps our community unique.Where we shop, where we eat and have fun—all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of our community.

4. Creates more good jobs. Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community.
