We've experienced Christ as the Godhead, 3 in 1. The community of IC has shown us a communal life-giving love and in that way has revealed the Trinity as a whole.
Every Saturday Mass I look around to see old people who can barely walk, rain or snow, show up to honor Jesus.
-age 64 I was driving downtown with my daughter, looking for parking, when we saw a sign for "VIP parking $10". She said, "There's a place! We are Very Important People " Consequently, we had a little lesson on the difference between God's eternal economy, where all of His beloved children are VIP's, and the world's fleeting economy based on financial wealth.
May we treat all we encounter as God's VIPs, regardless of their status in the world's economy. A friend of ours recently separated from his wife, and she left him with the care of their three children, the youngest merely a baby. The mother is no longer a part of their lives, and we were very heartbroken to hear of this. The last time we visited with him, however, the children were surrounded by aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends of the family who are now sharing the responsibilities of raising the children with this single father. We saw how these children may have lost a mother, but God provided several new "mothers" in her place to love them like their own.
