I like to think that this is God's own feast day. I am sure we all remember the story of St. Patrick and the shamrock in his attempt to help explain the mystery of the Unity and Trinity of God. I like St John Chrysostom's version of the rose.
The stem is the Father, the flower the Son and the scent the Holy Spirit. All these analogies fail for we are dealing with the mystery of mysteries, However, I like the rose, especially as there are some stunning roses in the presbytery garden.
This feast just makes me want to Praise God for as glorious as the mystery of God is , God's love for the world is even more amazing.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit
