Trinity Sunday – Year B (2021)

The readings for the Trinity Sunday for Year B affirm that we are members of God’s family and that God desires the whole world to be united into his relationship of love. In the first reading (Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40) Moses explains how God cares for his children. The psalm (Psalm 33:4-5, 6, 9, 18-19, 20, 22) sings “Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.” The second reading (Romans 8:14-17) tells us that we are truly God’s children. In the gospel (Matthew 28:16-20) Jesus tells his followers to baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Discussion topics for this week could include the Trinity, baptism, or what it means to be a child of God. Here are some ideas:

Make Disciples of All Nations

Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power 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, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
