TRINITY SUNDAY Lectionary #165
We celebrate the mystery of God as Trinity, not in splendid self-isolation but as for us. In the opening prayer for today’s Mass, we give thanks to the Father, who “sent your Word to bring us truth and your Spirit to make us holy,” for “through them we come to know the mystery of [divine] life.”
Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40. Moses solemnly evokes the memory of who God has been for Israel: the one who chose them and liberated them, who spoke “from the midst of fire” and gave them the Torah.
Psalm of the Day: Ps (32) 33
Selected verses from this hymn praise God as the creator and also as the one who watches over the faithful (“the eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him”).

Matthew 28:16-20. The formula for baptism was already in its fixed, ritual form when Matthew placed it here, at the end of his Gospel.
