The readings this weekend highlight that the Church’s mission begins in the Trinity: the Father sends the Son, the Father and Son send the Spirit, and the Spirit gathers us into communion with God.

That means the goal of the Church is not simply to run programs, maintain buildings, or manage an institution. As important as these things are, they are not the deepest goal. Our mission is to bring people into communion with the Trinity, to share in God’s own life. We are not trying to build a religious business. We are being formed into the family of God.

"Brothers and sisters, rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you."
