In these ink meditations, artist Hannah Garrity explores the interplay between the three persons of the Trinity. Fluid and free, these abstract dancing figures express movement, intimacy, and connection.

A Trinitarian Call/Response Liturgy

(Feel free to adapt or use this liturgy written by Lisle Gwynn Garrity)

Father, Son, Holy Spirit,

God is both three and One, many in unity.

But how can it be?

Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer,

God is perfect Trinity.

But how can it be?

This is how:

Lift your hands, palms facing up. Turn your thumbs to your right. Now grab hands with your neighbor.

In this moment, you are both offering support and receiving it.

As you sustain another, another sustains you.

Now release your hands and turn your thumbs to the left, and once again join hands with your neighbor.

Now you hold up the hand that once held you, and you lean on the one who once leaned on you.

This, my friends, is the promise of the Trinity:

God exists in perfect relationship.

And so, in relationship, we will live and prosper also.

Thanks be to God.
