Shade Tree Wisdom 5/31/15
          Today is Trinity Sunday on which many congregations recite the Athanasian Creed during the morning liturgy. (I imagine most congregants still are relieved they did not have to memorize the creed.)
          This Creed came t0 the Church somewhere in the fifth century and tries to go more in depth to explain God as the Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. It fails to do so, for who can really understand God. Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
You will find the Creed printed on pages 319.320 in LSB.

“Triune God be Thou are stay,
Cleanse us from our sins we pry,
And grant us life forever.
Keep us from the evil one;
Uphold our faith most holy.
Let us trust Thee solely
With humble hearts and lowly.
Let us put God’s armor on.
With all true Christians running
Our heavenly race and shunning
The devil’s wiles and cunning.
Amen. Amen! This be done,
So sing we “Alleluiah”. “
LSB 505,1
          There is a gift for deep meditation.
