St. Aidan's Anglican Church, Kansas City - Weekly Talks

The mystery of the Trinity has been likened to the mystery of the human person. As with our knowledge of God, we meet our limits on knowing ourselves and those closest to us. We see this in the various schools of psychology. The search to know and understand ourselves seems endless. St. Paul provides an insightful priestly blessing to the Church in Thessaloniki. "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" I Thess. 5:23. Made in the image of God, we too have a trinitarian makeup. And, I believe, we too are a mystery. The search for our true identity can only be found in our relationship with the Holy Trinity. Apart from the biblical revelation of God and the human person, all anthropologies fail us. Fr. Michael Flowers Icon by Andrey Rublev
