Dean's Greeting
The Very Rev. Dominic Barrington
|
|
Ever since Advent Sunday, we have followed the life-story of Jesus of Nazareth, from his mother’s pregnancy to his death, resurrection, and ascension. Through it all, we have learned of the unstoppable and unselfish nature of God’s love, manifested in Jesus, making humanity divine and empowering us with the gift of the Spirit.
This Sunday, we get a chance to understand why God has done all this. This Sunday is, by way of conclusion, our opportunity to reflect on the nature of God.

God is love,
perfected in the life of Jesus.
|
|
St. John tells us that God so loved the world...that’s because God is love. In the persons of the Trinity, that truth resounds throughout creation at the fullest and deepest level possible. God is love, perfected in the life of Jesus, and in the community to which all are called to share and live out that love. The Trinity involves us in a dance of love that is ever-sharing and unceasing. This Sunday, come and celebrate our Trinitarian God who loves us so completely and fully.
