JOURNEY OF FAITH We are on a long and eventful journey. Today’s readings for Trinity Sunday succinctly cover the depth and breadth of our human travels. The very beginnings of our journey are revealed in the reading from Proverbs. God’s plan filled with divine wisdom was born before the earth was made. In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks of his own personal journey. He has come from the Father and will return to the Father. Only then will the Advocate—the Spirit of Truth—take us onward. This does not diminish the fact that the journey will be hard. The very setting of the Gospel is the night before Jesus died. As Saint Paul writes to the Romans, “[W]e even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope” (Romans 5:3-4). Ultimately, our human journey is modeled by the Holy Trinity—a family of love among Father, Son, and Spirit that we are all called to emulate. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Around the turn of the fourth century, Augustine, still fairly fresh from the baptismal waters in Milan, was elected bishop of a tiny city in North Africa, Hippo. He told his people, “While I am frightened by what I am for you, then I am consoled by what I am with you. For you I am a bishop, with you I am a Christian.” He had his priorities right, and also knew that everyone coming from the water arises with a ministry, a specific role, in bringing about God’s kingdom. If we were asked to purge English of Greek vocabulary, we would gain an insight into key ministries in our church. Bishop, from the Greek episkopos, would become simply “overseer;” priest, from the Greek presybter, would become “elder;” and deacon, from the Greek diakonos, would be “servant.” Each title stands in relationship to all the baptized, serving the community, helping it to be the Body of Christ. In our deepest tradition, each of these ordained

ministries is attuned to help us become our best selves, to hunger and thirst for the coming of God’s kingdom. The goal for each one of us is to be able to recognize the presence of Christ in worship and in service. Although only some of us are ordained to ministry,

each of us is called to ministry. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

ŁAGODNYM I POKORNYM SERCEM POZNAJEMY BOGA

„Panie! czymże ja jestem przed Twoim obliczem? – Prochem i niczem; Ale gdym Tobie moję nicość wyspowiadał, Ja, proch, będę z Panem gadał” (ks. Piotr – Dziady, A. Mickiewicz). Niepojęta jest mądrość Boża, o której mówi dzisiejsze pierwsze czytanie – niepojęta, bo Boża. Każdy, kto chciałby się z nią zmierzyć, musi polec, bo jakże Bożej mądrości dorównać? Można jedynie poznawać ją przez ogląd świata, ludzi i zdarzeń. A tych, którzy mówią, że są mądrzejsi od Boga i Boga się nie lękają, należy unikać. Kontakt z nimi grozi utratą wieczności z Bogiem i przy Bogu. Dlatego też każdy uczony świadomy tego, że nie wszystko da się wyjaśnić i udowod-nić, i że „są rzeczy na niebie i na ziemi, o których się filozofom nie śniło” (Hamlet, W. Szekspir), ma szansę poznania i dotknięcia mądrości Bożej. A jeśli dołoży do tego pokorę (jak ksiądz Piotr z mickiewiczowskich Dziadów), to Bóg w swej łaskawości nie-jedno przed nim odkryje. Stąd już tylko krok, aby cieszyć się darami Ducha Świętego.

On doprowadzi nas „do całej prawdy”. I wówczas już nie będzie nic zakrytego, tajemniczego i niewyjaś-nionego. Czy zatem warto dawać się zwodzić tym, którzy głoszą nam półprawdy, którzy nas okłamują? Absolutnie nie warto. Trzeba zaś żyć mądrością i prawdą Bożą, którą możemy poznać „łagodnym i pokornym sercem”. Tak powoli, krok po kroku, zbliżać się będziemy do tego, co niewyjaśnione i zakryte przed nami – aż kiedyś staniemy przed Nim twarzą w twarz i poznamy Boga – Ojca i Syna, i Ducha Świętego. ks. Krzysztof Stosur
