The one Sunday the Christian calendar devotes to doctrine
A doctrine imposed on weary minds to explain divinity
The one God who is three
A riddle for humanity
A compromise born of authority
A mystery beyond logic
Part of our tradition called history.
A diversity devoted to being one
A oneness blessing diversity
A hope needed for community.
A god comfortable living as family
A god who calls us to love all diversity
The human mind wants comfort most.
A love held so close, it makes us feel one.
A togetherness each person knows as holy unity. A relationship turning eternally on divine charity.
The life we live confuses love and loyalty
The love we need transforms community
The love we find redeems personally
Our god – a mystery of three
Equals one loved humanity
As we find divine love similarly, caring for neighbors as if we were one.
