Trinity Sunday (Year A)

First Reading - Isaiah 40.28-31

A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah. The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of all the earth, with wisdom beyond our understanding. The Lord does not faint or grow weary and will give strength to the suffering and the weak. Even the young may grow weary, and stumble, and fall. But those who trust in the Lord will find their strength renewed. They will rise up on wings like eagles. They will run, and they will endure. This is the word of the Lord.

Second Reading - 2 Corinthians 13.11-13

A reading from the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians. Finally, my brothers and sisters, be joyful, as you grow in faith. Encourage one another; be of one mind; live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints here send their greetings. And may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. This is the word of the Lord.

Gospel - Matthew 28.16-20

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. The eleven disciples went to the mountain in Galilee, as Jesus had directed them. When the disciples saw Jesus there, one by one, they bowed down and worshipped him. Jesus said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them all that I have commanded you. And know that I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ This is the Gospel of the Lord.
