Scripture Insights – Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2024: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2023, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 220. The Great Commission, when Jesus sent the disciples to baptize, contains one of the first direct references to the Trinity in Scripture. Although it took the Church several hundred more years to describe fully the relationship among Father, Son, and Spirit, the truth of God’s nature as Three-in-One is seeded throughout Scripture. While the Great Commission points forward to the doctrine of the Trinity, it also gestures back to Old Testament promises. The command to make disciples “of all nations” hints at God’s promise to bless all the nations through Abraham (Genesis 18:18; 22:18). Christ’s claim that all authority in heaven and on earth had been given to him echoes Moses’ declaration in the first reading that the God of Israel alone reigns over the heavens and earth “and that there is no other.” Now there is one, who is mysteriously not other at all, but the very same God in the flesh. The God of Israel shares authority with Christ the Son, who promises the disciples that he will be with them (fulfilling the title Emmanuel, God-with-us) until the completion of the age.
· For some in your congregation, the word father may be like salt in a wound. For others, the word son may be the same. Not everyone hears the sentiments of family with a warm and fuzzy feeling: do not forget them. Take comfort knowing that the Father in heaven is a perfect consolation for the absence of an earthly dad. Or perhaps, it is enough to know that the Spirit can hold us and carry us forward. Leave room for a multitude of perspectives, as the Trinity itself models.
