Today we contemplate the Trinity and its importance for our understanding of God.

"Trinity Sunday commemorates the Christian doctrine of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—three persons in one substance, an eternal community of love. Observed on the first Sunday after Pentecost, Trinity Sunday marks the beginning of the Trinity Season (or Trinitytide), also called the Season after Pentecost or Ordinary Time. Trinity is a fitting name for this season because the focus shifts from the great feasts of sacred history—Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Ascension, Easter, and Pentecost—to the ongoing life of Christian growth in the love of our Trinitarian God."

Trinity Sunday celebrates the triune nature of God, and Peter Johnston breaks down its importance to us as Christians.

From Anglican Compass

The Sunday after the Ascension O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who...

"After Jesus rose from the dead, many of his followers thought that he would soon bring about the end of history, a final judgment upon all evil and wickedness in the world, and a permanent restoration of Israel. But instead, Jesus commands his disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit, and he ascends into the clouds, vanishing from their sight. The disciples, just like us, must live in a world without the physical presence of the resurrected Christ. Why is this the case? Why didn’t Jesus stick around after he rose from the dead?"

From Anglican Compass for Ascension Day.

When Jesus ascended into heaven, He tore down the spiritual curtain that prevents our hearts from directly accessing the Father.

In a time that is marked by digitization and online living, the Rogation Days on the church's calendar are an excellent opportunity to reconnect with nature and the world God has given us.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1

We are immensely thankful for the beauty and fruitfulness of the world God has given us, and these days remind us of our responsibility to care for the earth.

As Spring hits its stride, take a moment today to go outside. Spend time contemplating the goodness God has given us in nature and to thank God for those who labor to bring forth fruit from the Earth to care for our bodily needs.
