Good Morning! I notice that many times we like to bring God down to our size. I was recently in a church where the Blessed Trinity is depicted as a father of about the age sixty, seated with a young man of about the age of thirty, and a dove hovering over both of them. They were dressed in regal robes and wore kingly crowns. This certainly does not appeal when In our times we have learned that what exists are hundreds of billions of stars, and we are still counting, measuring space in terms of light years, etc. Who/what is this God whom I credit with having originated our evolving universe?
Of course, our little minds cannot fathom the bigness of God. One thing I think would be helpful, is not to start with ourselves, for example: “This person is kind and good; God is like that, kind and good.” Rather, start with God: “God is love; my ability to love is minuscule compared with the ability of the One who is the Source of all love in the world.”
