Readings

First: Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40 - Ask now about former ages ... has anything so great as this ever happened or has its like ever been heard of? So acknowledge today and take to heart that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; Keep his ... commandments, ... so that you may long remain in the land that the Lord your God is giving...

Psalm 32 - Happy the people the Lord has chosen as his own / The word of the Lord is faithful /  By his word the heavens were made / The Lord looks on those who revere him / Our soul is waiting for the Lord.

Second: Romans 8:14-17 - For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God ... When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God ... we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

Gospel acclamation:  Based on Revelations 1:8 - "Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; the God who is, who was, and who is to come."

Gospel: Matthew 28:16-20 - Jesus says to his follower “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”


Themes

Trinity - the fullness of God in three persons. God's closeness to us. God's inner life. God as three interactive, loving persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) remaining one divine reality. "We shall become like God, because we shall see him as he really is" - St John. Completeness, perfect symmetry
