Prayer Mantra #2

โ€œLet us make mankind in our imageโ€ โ€“ God

If the God of Christianity existsโ€ฆ Then He is not just a powerful God who created humanity to be in community, but He is a powerful God who is already in a community. It is only when God created mankind that His plurality was brought out. The Trinity โ€“ a mysterious concept โ€“ the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Itโ€™s like they are in some kind of dance, wrapped up in a bosom. And in this dance they are able to: delight and be delighted, enjoy and be enjoyed, praise and be praised, love and be loved, and know and be known. So when God said โ€œLet us make mankind in our imageโ€ itโ€™s like Heโ€™s saying, โ€œLet us make mankind be able to experience what We are able to give each Otherโ€. So now weโ€™re able to participate in this kind of dance; to see and be seen, to hear and be heard, and to know and be known. This is a gift โ€“ whether or not God exists โ€“ the ability to form relationships of all kinds: from parent-child relationships to sibling relationships, and friendships to romantic relationships. This is a gift โ€“ a beautiful gift โ€“ for all of us to enjoy.
