Feast of the Most Holy Trinity is celebrated next Sunday 15th June : There is a beautiful Russian icon of the Blessed Trinity which depicts the three persons of the Trinity sitting at a table. A dish of food lies on the table at the front of which there is a vacant place. This is intended to convey openness, hospitality and welcome to the stranger and outsider. That vacant place is meant for each of us, and for all the human family. It signifies God’s  invitation to us to share in the life of the Trinity, in other words, to share in the community of love between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God doesn’t exclude us from God’s inner life. God doesn’t talk to us at the doorstep, as we tend to do with our fellow human beings nowadays. God invites us to come in and sit at his table. He wants to share his life with us.
