I'm a bit of a Patristics nerd (patristics=studying the writings of the Church Fathers), and as I was reading a 2nd century letter written by St. Ignatius to the church in Ephesus, I found this bit....really vivid, wonderful trinitarian image!
"You are stones of the Father's temple, prepared for the building of God the Father. For you are being carried up to the heights by the crane of Jesus Christ, which is the cross, using as a cable the Holy Spirit; and your faith is your hoist, and love is the path that carries you up to God."
