Trinity Sunday

                                            Based on Ephesians 4:6  

 O Holy Trinity, 
one God; 
you are 
above
all things & 
through 
all things &
 in 
all things, Father Son and Spirit blest. 

Eve of Trinity Sunday

                                    Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, d. 373 

where the light 
is, 
there 
is 
the radiance, and where the 
radiance is, there shall be its power... 

Saturday

                                                                    I Timothy 6:6-7

     there is
     great 
     gain in 

     godliness 
     combined 
     with 
     contentment; 
     for we 
     brought 
     nothing
     into 
     the world, 
     so that we can take nothing out of it. 

     Or, as Bill Mahedy used to say,  
               “There are no pockets in a shroud.”

"Copernicus, who was not a notably devout layman, was included on the calendar of  The Lutheran Book of Worship because of his contribution to the history of ideas that ultimately required Christianity to expand its understanding the the size of the 

 universe and to come to terms with the position of the Earth not at the center but as part of the solar system that is on the fringe of the universe. Copernicus thus taught Christians a new kind of humility before the cosmos."

he

it; Come, let us adore adore him.

I make my appeal and watch for you.
