If Jesus were a member of the We Do Not Care Club, I feel certain that he would submit announcements based on today’s Gospel. “We do not care if you got distracted. It’s time to let go of some things and embrace what matters most.”

This interconnection between wisdom - holy astonishment - and familiarity is at the heart of Trinity Sunday. Before his Ascension, Jesus promised that we would not be left comfortless. Our comfort comes when the Holy Spirit enters the picture and the full Trinity is present. Because then, even when the world is totally and completely astonishing, we will be able to recognize God’s presence and we will be recognized in return. We will know that we are not alone.
