st patrick went to ireland to try to convert the irish into christians.
he preached about christianity to the people.
the irish were convinced, but there was one thing troubling them.
how is it possible that one god is three persons?
and st patrick picked a leaf of a shamrock and asked,
how many lobes?
three.
but how many leaves?
one.
st augustine was pondering about the holy trinity.
how can one god be three persons.?
as he walked along the beach, he saw a little boy.
the boy scooped the water from the ocean with his pail, and emptied it on the beach.
st augustine asked,
whatre you doing.?
and the boy replied,
i'm emptying the ocean.
but thats impossible, replied st augustine.
then the boy said,
its easier for me to empty the ocean,
than for you to understand the holy trinity.
some things in life juz arent meant to be understood.
