The Holy Trinity

God’s Word

Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31 “I was set up . . . before the beginning of the earth.”

Psalm 8 “How majestic is Your name in all the earth.”

Acts 2:14a, 22-36 God made Jesus both Lord and Christ.

John 8:48-59 “Before Abraham was, I am.”

Collect of the Day

Almighty and everlasting God, You have given us grace to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity by the confession of a true faith and to worship the Unity in the power of the Divine Majesty. Keep us steadfast in this faith and defend us from all adversities; for You, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, live and reign, one God, now and forever. Amen.

 

Theme

Today we celebrate Trinity Sunday. Trinity Sunday is different than any festival in the Church Year. Unlike Christmas, Easter, or last week’s Pentecost, where we rejoice in and reflect upon an action of God for our salvation, Holy Trinity is a time when we affirm and reflect upon a doctrine. We gather around our shared confession of God as He reveals Himself as our Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Even in the mystery of things we cannot fully understand or comprehend by our own reason, we trust God’s revelation through His Word made known to us of who He is and what He has done, that apart from Him there is no other.

Martin Luther’s Morning Prayer

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
