GROW AS A DISCIPLE
\n<\/span><\/strong>In today\u2019s first reading, we hear how Moses, obedient to God\u2019s command, ascends Mount Sinai early in the morning. Up at the summit, the Lord appears to Moses in a cloud and shares his name with Moses: \u201cLORD\u201d (in Hebrew, the tetragrammaton, the unspeakably holy divine name). But God doesn\u2019t only reveal the name that Moses should call him by; he also reveals what kind of God he is: \u201cThe Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.\u201d Moses bows down in worship and entreats the Lord to \u201creceive us as your own.\u201d Today\u2019s Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity reminds us that we have a God who wants us to not only know his name, but to know his inner self. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are \u2013 indeed \u2013 the God who is rich in mercy. And anyone who believes in this God will not perish but will have eternal life. May we bow our hearts in worship of the Lord this day, grateful for the gift we have of belonging to the people he calls his own.<\/span><\/p>\n

GO EVANGELIZE
\n<\/span><\/strong>Our second reading contains a detail that might come as a surprise to our 21st-century ears: \u201cGreet one another with a holy kiss.\u201d This gesture in the New Testament era was an outward sign of the communion and love that existed in the early Church \u2013 a communion that we\u2019re also called to today. The communion that exists in the Church is meant to point the world back to its source: God himself. Part of the witness we\u2019re called to offer the world as Christian believers is the love we share among one another. The Church is to be a sacrament or \u201csign and instrument \u2026 of \u2026 union with God\u201d and unity with \u201cthe whole human race.\u201d (Lumen Gentium 1) The bonds of love that exist among Christians is about more than just having a tight-knit community; it\u2019s about showing the world that we\u2019re called to a loving relationship with God and with one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

WITNESS
\n<\/span><\/strong>This week, consider how you can strengthen the bonds of friendship you have with your fellow Christians, so that united together in love and peace, you can bear witness to the God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Consider participating in a fellowship (social) event being put on by your parish or invite someone you see regularly at Church out for coffee or brunch after Mass.<\/span>
