Too great to grasp

Water 20586C

For more than three decades, St. Augustine of Hippo toiled over the mind-boggling doctrine of the Trinity. According to legend, one day the church father was strolling along a shore, wrestling with this puzzle. He saw a boy running back and forth, using a seashell to pour water from the ocean into a hole he’d dug in the sand. When Augustine asked what he was doing, the boy proclaimed, “I’m going to pour the entire ocean into this hole!”


“That’s impossible,” replied Augustine. “The sea is so great, and the shell and the hole are so little.”


“That’s true,” the boy said. “But it would be easier to draw all the water out of the sea and fit it into this hole than for you to fit the mystery of the Trinity and his divinity into your little intellect.”


Indeed, only through faith can we accept the infinite nature of our Three-in-One God; for our finite human minds, it’s simply too great to grasp.

Spirit's Touch

God whose very being is based in relationship — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — show me what relationships I need to nourish in special ways today.


“Solutions are not found by pointing fingers; they are reached by extending hands.”

—Aysha Taryam


Living always in the joy of the Resurrection, let us join hearts and voices to praise the Living Lord!
