Every Sunday is dedicated to the worship of the Triune God, and is called accordingly the Lord's day; but the first Sunday after Pentecost is appointed by the Church a special feast of the Most Holy Trinity, because this mystery, began at once to be preached by the apostles, as soon as they had been enlightened and strengthened by the Holy Spirit. God's Triune Nature has been fully revealed, and now we can celebrate, hearing in today's Gospel,
“All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations, baptising them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe all the things whatsoever I have commanded you; and behold I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world”
Let us then begin this Day, by giving glory to the one God in Three Persons.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning and is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
