Joseph Illo Trinity Sunday [Proverbs 8:22-31, Romans 5:1-5, John 16:12-15] The Sunday following Pentecost is Trinity Sunday, because now that the Holy Spirit has arrived, we step back and contemplate the Union of these three Persons we call the Holy Trinity. “I have much more to tell you but you cannot bear it now….” Jesus says today. God is a community, and like any community, we discover the fullness of this relationship gradually. There are things in our own families we cannot bear just yet, but God will reveal them in His own good time.
