Today, in the Catholic Church, we celebrate the Feast of the Trinity - a real mystery. We grasp at human words to try and capture or explain the mystery of Three Persons in One God.
When a young couple came to me to get married, I began by asking them two questions: How did you first meet and, of all the people you have met and dated, why is the person sitting next to you the one you want to spend the rest of your life with? The answer to the first question is easy as everyone knows the occasion on which they first met their soul mate. the answer to the second question is more difficult because, no matter how a couple tries to answer it, they will never find the right words to capture or explain their answer.
If, as human beings, we find it difficult to explain the mystery of a human relationship, how much more difficult is it to explain the mystery of the relationship in God? Yes, just because, like all human relationships, words may fail us, but it doesn't stop us from trying to explain Mystery.
