June 3, 2012 – The Solemnity of the Holy Trinity
Dt 4:32-34, 39-40; Ps 33:4-5, 6, 9, 18-19, 20, 22; Rom 8:14-17; Mt 28:16-20
Today, on the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, as we reflect on God’s nature as three persons in one God, we recognize that He is a family whose life is love.
What’s more, the gospel tells us, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
We are a family of persons called to live together in love. It is our duty as Christian disciples to live in love with others and to live out of love for others. In so doing, we bring others to Christ and His Church, inviting them to establish an intimate relationship with the Lord and to live a sacramental life united to Christ and His Church.
Here, Christ commissions all of us to make disciples, and H has given us many gifts with which to do so. Are we using the time, talent and treasure God has blessed us with to make disciples and build the Church? How can we do an even better job of that?
