TWICE LOVED

At the end of his Profession of faith, St Patrick says
that "he adores One God in the Trinity of the Holy name". 
That Holy name or nature is Love.

Patrick also says that "the Father begets the Son in a way that
baffles description".  That tells us that this mystery of Love is
bigger than our minds.  An open and listening heart is needed to experience this mystery at work in our lives: to experience this
Triune Love who, as Father begets us, as Son, Redeemer
and brother forever intercedes for us, and who as Spirit enlivens, enlightens and guides us.  One could say we are thrice loved.

But what, if anything, do I think of when I bless myself...?
