TRINITY - Feast 26.May 2013

Last Sunday we put the question: Which picture of God do you recognize as the best one ?  As you praise God, which kind of God you praise ? Which God do you adore ? Trinity-feast shows a God - as we got it in the catechism - who is seen
as Father + Son + Holy Spirit: one eternal God as a Trinity of Persons.
Very difficult to understand - at leat a little bit.

1.) In normal situation we pray, we praise God without such a courageous question. But today - in favour of our future - we may have the courage,
maybe the duty, but surely the right to consider this question.

2.) We know: in history and in many persons during the life-time, the picture
of God has developped. God is not all the time the same. And this is good so. But in the times ahead which God - we will discover ?

3.) Do you like to proclaim the "God of war" (the warrior) ? Giving you victory !
The "God of revenge" ? reserving revenge to him self.  The "God of Love" ? caring
for you and for the World. The "God of Peace" uniting people and nations.
Which God is good for us, helpful and understandable ?

4.) Never forget: the world-view has changed; The world-feeling is an other one!
Sciences and cultures have developped. Which God is compatibel to such
a new world ?
As the child has grown: it sees his own father in a new light... the husband
discover a new wife in his own bride; an adult needs a new God.

5.) The question is rife: Is God a "being for ever and ever" or is God changing,
developing?  God has a new face in blossom and in automn ?
But much deeper: What is the relationship between God and the Cosmos ?  And: the evolution of God ? How we dare to see it ?
The evolution of the homo sapiens and of God are going hand in hand ?

6.) Once God dwelled in Heaven; quite far away. Today we speak about the  "transzendent and immanent God". And tomorrow: we speak about ?
Jesus has promised (Joh 16.12-15) the Spirit of truth will lead you to the
complete truth. But we have not to wait in the sense of doing nothing.
We have to search, to discover, to look for... at least all baptised people
are called up in their personal life, in their Church-community to look out
after a new - a fascinating God.
