Last Sunday was Trinity Sunday. On this feast we are invited to reflect on the central mystery of that faith, the mystery of who God is. We remember the Trinity often in prayer and each time we make the sign of the cross. But it is the parting message of Jesus to his apostles that is the most important. It is this message that concludes the gospel according to St. Matthew.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,” Jesus told his followers, “baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”

Two things stand out in this message: “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Teaching the world, in other words, to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, to shelter the homeless. Teaching those “disciples of all nations” to “love one another as I have loved you.”

Also we are asked to baptise in the name of the Trinity. Those words stand as a powerful reminder of the vital work that we have to do. Every time we make the sign of the cross, we relive our baptism and our call. Each time this week as we make the sign of the cross perhaps we should try to think more about the gesture and what it means, a gesture so simple but with so much meaning!

Father,
You sent your Word to bring us truth
And your Spirit to make us holy.
Through them we come to know the mystery of your life.
Help us to worship you, one God in three Persons,
By proclaiming and living our faith in you.
