This Sunday we celebrate the Mystery that Is Our God. As Tony explains, the way we can know this Mystery most deeply and intimately is by experiencing It. This is where the sacraments of the Church come in. Baptism first gives us a share in the Triune Life of Love while the Eucharist enables us to experience this Love most profoundly and grow in It, this side of eternity.
