Sunday Prayer (Trinity Sunday)

O Blessed Mystery,

O Triune Puzzle,

grant us the wisdom

to be at peace with questions

rather than contriving explanations.

We strive to prove ourselves

with a show of truth,

but the glory of Wisdom --

of One who sang the distant stars into being

and who rocks the earth's foundation

to sleep after its long nightmare --

the glory of Wisdom is yours,

without our vain desire for answers.

Now bless us, we pray,

in our uncertainties. Teach us

the peace of the oceans' limitations.

We would strive to measure you as Three;

turn our calculating hearts instead to recognize

the immeasurable length of your grace.

We are yours by your delight,

and we are grateful!
