Clergy Corner

Question of the Week for May 31:

What will I do this week to reflect the qualities of the divine essence?

“The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity,” God says to Moses in the first reading (Exodus 34:6). It is interesting that God uses a description that does not include the first words that may come to mind regarding the divine essence: words like all-powerful, all-knowing, infinite, or perfect. These words are true, of course, but God instead chooses to use words that are relational. God cannot be any of these things—merciful or gracious, kind or faithful—without someone else. But the fact that God is three persons means that God is relational from the start. Indeed, Jesus relies on these qualities when he faces his suffering and death. He relies on his faith that the Father is merciful to him, is gracious to him, is faithful to him. He also relies on these qualities when he

promises the Holy Spirit to his disciples. Our God is a relational God, and God’s mercy, grace, love, and fidelity to us reflects these qualities among Father, Son, and Spirit.
