The Sunday after Pentecost is traditionally Trinity Sunday, when we reflect on the meaning of the Triune God, the Creator, Redeemer and Companion all rolled into one. We as humans might struggle to understand this concept, yet the comfort found in a Creator who is both designer and companion, our God who is willing to be with us in our failing, well, that's a God we need right here and now. Our world is broken by division, by starvation, disease, abuse of power and war. Our Creator is with us in dark turbulent times as well as the peaceful times. And our God is willing to help us restore our peace even as we struggle and complain. The three in One, provides us with deep loving facets that provide hope, direction and creative possibilities.
Wondrous Creator, you are three persons in one
providing our needs for hope, direction and support.
Precious Savior, be with us now and to the end of the ages.
This world is broken by selfishness and great greed
yet you call us to be loving to enemies, stranger and friend.
Precious Savior, be with us now and to the end of the ages.
We want to hide from the strife in these harsh times
and you give us yourself as Creator, Redeemer and Friend.
Precious Savior, be with us now and to the end of the ages.
In our isolation and loneliness, we feel we are alone
yet you have promised to be with us throughout all time.
Precious Savior, be with us now and to the end of the ages.
We are often unable to see your loving face in our time
you see us through the darkness and bring us to light again.
Precious Savior, be with us now and to the end of the ages.
Help us, Lord, to live as your disciples spreading love
so your hope, your light and your heart might be here now.
Precious Savior, be with us now and to the end of the ages. Amen.
