Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday. While all of the theological details can be difficult to grasp, we very easily invoke the Trinity each time we make the sign of the cross. When Jesus called God, “Father,” he revealed that at the very heart of God’s nature is the fact that God is a family. That is what we mean when we talk about the Trinity. When we name God, Father, Son, and Spirit, we are reminding ourselves that it is of God’s very nature to be in relationship - and not only in relationship within the Trinity, but in relationship with us.
