BANTRY PARISH NEWSLETTER

THE DEEP END – TRINITY SUNDAY
Elizabeth Johnson describes the
Trinity as a flowering plant with its deep invisible root (God), its green stem
reaching into the world from that root (Son) and its flower (Spirit) which
opens to spread beauty and fragrance and to fructify the earth with fruit and
seed.
And it is all the one living
plant. We are invited into community with God, to take our place at the table
and embrace the relationship that is offered to us. God is community, a
community built on love in all its forms. As we bless ourselves today, remember
that we are symbolising that great mystery of God that community of persons, the
relationships of love that we are invited into, relationships of giving and
receiving, relationships of community and life.
