Our reading from Romans presents a powerful start to these 'ordinary' Sundays of the year. The message is there for us right at the start of our discipleship for the next few months: " you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you . . . the Spirit of Christ . . . will give life . . . through his Spirit that dwells in you." All the verses quoted confirm all that was said on Trinity Sunday . . . notice it is the 'spirit' of all three Persons. We should be possessed by the Spirit of all Three.
It is in these 'ordinary' weeks of the year that all the great and powerful celebrations of Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity, and Eucharist must be harvested. The harvest should be the direct result of our ordinary living, our daily dscipleship. It is in this way that everything will be present through his Spirit living in us.
