The holy month of June 06/25/2019 | Seasons by Kristin Berkey-Abbott— For many congregations, summer is a time of reduced activity. Perhaps we move to offering one worship service on Sundays.

As we step into June, let’s take a moment to reflect on the intentions set forth by Pope Leo XIV. Let's open our hearts and minds to the possibilities of compassion and service. Together, we can transform intention into action and create a ripple of positivity in our communities, especially in sports.

“Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).

The Holy Trinity reminds us that relationship is woven into the very nature of God.

As Creator, God brings life into being. As Savior, God draws near in love and redemption. As Comforter, God remains present, guiding and sustaining us through every season.

At the heart of the Trinity is a relationship of love, shared, given, and received. Created in the image of this relational God, we are called to live in community, practice radical welcome, and care for one another as Christ cares for us.

On this Trinity Sunday, may we give thanks for the mystery of a God who creates, saves, comforts, and continually invites us into deeper relationship with God and one another.

Today we remember Justin, martyr, who died around 165 CE.

A philosopher and early Christian teacher, Justin believed that faith and reason belong together. He sought truth wherever it could be found and boldly shared the good news of Christ in a world that often misunderstood and rejected it.

Justin reminds us that discipleship includes both heart and mind. We are called not only to believe, but also to learn, question, reflect, and grow in wisdom.

May we have the courage to seek truth faithfully and to bear witness to God's love with both conviction and humility.

You like to see somebody who knows what they want and goes about getting it with whatever gifts or talents they have at their disposal. Place yourself with Bartimaeus today, a blind beggar, who had little enough going for him. He had no sight – and no advocate to speak on his behalf. But Bartimaeus knew what he wanted and wasn’t going to be deterred by inhibition or what others might think. Would that we were all so brave. Help me, Lord, to acknowledge my own defects and ask for what I need from you.

We’re with Nicodemus today and we ask him to teach us what he wishes to. He appears in our story out of the dark shadows, for he knows only too well that he dare not antagonise his fellow religious leaders. Yet he has an inner honesty that compels him to interrogate Jesus on a number of difficult issues. Evil is darkness, but through Jesus’ coming into the world the power of that darkness is controlled. We ask, Lord, that you continue to keep it at bay for us.
