Well, the best laid plans and all that. Between preparing our house for sale and vacation with family I do not have a well planned Gospel reflection for today. But, vacationing in the Black Hills means our family has been blessed with some gorgeous encounters with nature. From unique rock formations, to baby bison, to Lord of the Rings worthy waterfalls. This was a trip focused on the beauty and wildness of creation.
God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is eternal. The Holy Trinity with each of its unique members, was active in the creation of our world. A sweet way to think about creation is to say God’s fingerprints can be seen throughout our world if we take the time to look for them.
Each of us lives in a unique place within God’s created world. Even in the middle of a bustling city, there are pieces of the natural world to be seen – a beautiful sunset, a window box of flowers, a park green space, the laughter of a child at play.
To celebrate the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, take some time in the nature you are planted in. Go for a walk, take a drive, however you’d like to do it. Just slow down and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you every day. It is a lovely thing to go away and experience the natural wonders of the world. But don’t discount the wonders that are just outside your front door.
