May 31, 2015 – The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
Dt 4: 32-34, 39-40; Ps 33: 4-6, 9, 18-20, 22; Rom 8: 14-17; Mt 28: 16-20
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. It is worth reviewing what a
“Solemnity” is to us. In our Church year a Solemnity is the highest-ranking Holy Day
possible, followed by a Feast and then a Memorial. Although we may not perceive it, the
word “solemnity” comes from the Latin word for “festival.” The most important events on our
Church calendar are “Solemnities.” All Solemnities are not Holy Days of Obligation, but those
like Holy Trinity Sunday that always occur on Sunday are indeed Holy Days of Obligation.
The Holy Trinity was firmly established in the Bible, even in Genesis. Throughout the Old
Testament God refers to Himself in both the singular and plural. In fact, in Genesis He
declares “Let us make man in our image.” Note both the “us” and the “our.” Nevertheless,
these semantical supports are secondary to the reality of the Holy Trinity as explicated and
explained in our readings for this Holy Day.
St. Athanasius, who lived in the 300s, said “We acknowledge the Trinity, Holy and perfect, to
consist of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is a wholly creative and energizing reality, self
confident and undivided in its active power. Accordingly, in the Church, one God is preached, one
God who is above all things and through all things and in all things.”
Our first reading from the Book of Deuteronomy speaks of our need to serve God.
Moses tells the people, “The Lord is God in the heavens above and on the earth below,
and there is no other.” This is the preface to our understanding and belief in the Holy Trinity.
In the second reading from St. Paul’s letter to the Romans, Paul makes the point that we are all children of God
if we are “led by the Spirit of God.” It is the Triune God who leads us through the Holy Spirit to
repentance, to truth, to love, to holiness, to stewardship. It is through pursuing this life in the Spirit
that we are able to serve God and one another.
The Gospel from Matthew, even though not lengthy, contains Jesus’ complete call to us to “make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”
Disciples are made through teaching and through conversion. To be a Christian steward involves a conversion
of the heart and mind. As indicated in our U.S. Bishops Pastoral Letter on Stewardship, “Jesus’ call is urgent.
He does not tell us to follow Him at some point in the future but here and now, at the moment, in our
present circumstances.” The Bishops later say in that letter, “The life of a Christian Steward, lived in imitation
of the life of Christ, is challenging, even difficult in many ways. But both here and
hereafter it is charged with intense joy.”
On this day when we glory in the Holy Trinity, when we again declare, “I believe,” we
need to commit ourselves to our Triune God; we need to answer the call to discipleship
and stewardship. We need to be generous out of love. Jesus sends us, guides us, and
empowers us.
Catholic Steward.com. Stewardship Reflection
Feast of the Holy Trinity
“The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God
and joint heirs with Christ…” - Romans 8:16-17
If we are heirs to the kingdom of God, shouldn’t we work to build up His kingdom? Shouldn’t we be good stewards of our
inheritance, using our time, talent and treasure to care for the Church that God has left to us? Our Church is a treasured
heirloom from God. Do we treat it that way?

The Most Holy Trinity

Mt 28:16-20
Monday
Saint Justin, Martyr
Tb 1:3, 2:1b-8; Ps 112; Mk 12:1-12
Justin travelled to Greece, Egypt, & Italy, gaining many to
Christ. At Rome he sealed his testimony with his blood,
surrounded by his disciples . "Do you think," the prefect said to
Justin, "that by dying you will enter heaven, & be rewarded by
God?" "I do not think," was Justin’s answer; "I know."
Tuesday
Saints Marcellinus and Peter, Martyrs
Tb 2:9-14; Ps 112; Mk 12:13-17
Little is known about the two martyrs' lives. Marcellinus, a
priest, & Peter, an exorcist, died in the year 304, during the
Diocletianic Persecution. Pope Damasus I claimed that he
heard the story of these two martyrs from their executioner
who became a Christian after their deaths. Damasus'
account is the oldest source concerning these two martyrs.
Wednesday Saint Charles Lwanga & Companions & Martyrs
Tb 3:1-11a, 16-17a; Ps 25; Mk 12:18-27
One of 22 Ugandan martyrs, Charles Lwanga is the patron of
youth and Catholic action in most of tropical Africa. He
protected his fellow pages (aged 13 to 30) from the
homosexual demands of the Bagandan ruler .When
Missionaries returned after King Mwanga's death, they found
five hundred Christians and one thousand catchumens waiting for them.
(without priests or educators). The twenty-two Catholic martyrs of the
Uganda persecution were canonized.

Patron of brewers; Fulda; Germany; World Youth Day
Saturday
Saint Norbert, Bishop
Tb 12:1, 5-15, 20; Tb 13; Mk 12:38-44
A sudden flash of lightning split the dark & his horse bucked,

were, "Lord, what do you want me to do?" God’s response ,
"Turn from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it."
