What did you think of Fathers illustration of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in which the children entered into the picture of the sailing ship which was a portal and the children were brought onto the sailing ship and into an adventure? The same way the children enter onto the ship, we are meant to enter into the mystery of the Trinity through the scriptures, the prayers of the church, Holy images and icons, and the like. 

Father shared that Ephesians chapter 2 vs 8-10 has been helpful to him entering into the mystery of the Trinity:“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”Father invites you to make this scripture your own and pray it as a prayer of thanksgiving or petition to the Father, using Father’s example. 

Father invites you to make this prayer of St Elizabeth of the Trinity your own; from catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 260: O my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me forget myself entirely so to establish myself in you, unmovable and peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity. May nothing be able to trouble my peace or make me leave you, O my unchanging God, but may each minute bring me more deeply into your mystery! Grant my soul peace. Make it your heaven, your beloved dwelling and the place of your rest. May I never abandon you there, but may I be there, whole and entire, completely vigilant in my faith, entirely adoring, and wholly given over to your creative action.
