Trinity Sunday draws us in to the mystery of God and our desire as humans to explain and control all things and the need to accept that life and God are beyond the rational, and so we sit patiently and courageously in a contemplative place we call the soul.

Once again, I am preparing this week’s message earlier than usual because I will be on the Gold Coast for the weekend, attending First Holy Communion of two of my granddaughters.

I have returned to work after a week with our family, celebrating our son’s wedding. It was a great occasion, on a perfect day. We are proud of Edmund and Karen, and their willingness to commit to the promise of a life-long relationship. So many people spoke highly of both of them, and so the union of these two families has been enshrined in a ritual and celebration to be remembered.

I am conscious, as I write this message, that many of your will read this on the eve of the United Nations International Day of Families, 15 May. Each year, in Australia, we celebrate National Families Week from 15 to 21 May. Interestingly, for us it falls around Mother’s Day, a day when many families celebrate with their mums or gather to remember them.
