What better feast to celebrate on Fathers Day than the Blessed Trinity? Happy Fathers day to you Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God in three persons!
One of my favorite stories about the Trinity is shown in the image above.
St. Augustine was walking on the beach contemplating the mystery of the Trinity. Then he saw a boy in front of him who had dug a hole in the sand and was going out to the sea again and again and bringing some water to pour into the hole. St. Augustine asked him, “What are you doing?” “I’m going to pour the entire ocean into this hole.” “That is impossible, the whole ocean will not fit in the hole you have made” said St. Augustine. The boy replied, "I could fill this hole with the entire ocean before you can understand the mystery of the Blessed Trinity". The story concludes that the boy vanished as St. Augustine had been talking to an angel.
Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Today I look forward to spending some time with the Cara and the kiddos, yesterday we took the boys to "Kart Country" rode go-carts and hit balls at the batting cage. I was inpressed, John did great on the "big" go-carts and Jonah did suprizingly well hitting baseballs!
Watching the boys standing in the batting cage hitting balls, it was strange to think that not too long ago I was a boy and my dad was watching me. Now I have my own three boys and I'm watching them. Its a beautiful (and scary) thing to see little bits of me in them.
Thanks Dad for showin me the ropes on hitting baseballs... I'll pay it forwad with my own boys!
Happy Fathers Day!
