Trinitarian Truth in a Post-Modern World | Rev. David Pileggi

12 June 2022 - Trinty Sunday - In today's world, truth has become personalized and relative. It is no longer acceptable to speak of “the truth” but can say only “my truth” and “your truth.” In John’s Gospel, Jesus often speaks of “the truth" – which is a correct understanding of who He is, along with right living (doing the truth). Both are necessary to maintain that gift of divine life that we share with the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit.

Readings: Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31; Romans 5:1-5; John 16:12-15
