Trinity Sunday

The Trinity seems to follow me around. I was baptized in a Trinity Church, attended a Trinity School, was married in a Trinity Church, and gave homilies for my parents funerals in a Trinity Church. 

So, this Trinity Sunday has some special meaning for me, but its real meaning is summed up in this day's Gospel reading.

Matthew 28:16-20

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, ‘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.’

Preachers throughout the centuries have struggled with the Trinity, but I don't worry about the details very much. 

I like the mystery.
