Jesus, looking at
him, loved
him and said
to him, “You
are lacking
in one thing.
Go, sell
what you
have, and
give to the
poor and
you will
have treasure in
heaven;
then come,
follow me.”

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
The week begins with Trinity Sunday, which always follows a week after Pentecost. It celebrates the relationship between the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit - and their loving support for us in our lives. “I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now. But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.”
The first readings this week are from the pastoral letters, The First Letter of Peter and The Letter of Jude.
During the week, we resume reading Mark's Gospel where we left it when Lent began. It offers us stories about sacrificing part of ourselves. We hear of the Rich Young Man: “Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At that statement, his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Peter tells Jesus, “We have given up everything and followed you.” Jesus responds, “there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more.” When the disciples squabble over who will sit in glory with Jesus, he tells them, “the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Bartimaeus, a blind man recognizes Jesus as “Son of David” and is healed. Bartimaeus follows Jesus. Jesus drives money changers out of the Temple saying, “My house shall be called a house of prayer ... but you have made it a den of thieves.” We end the week with Jesus evading the trickery of the chief priests who ask him “by what authority are you doing these things?” Sunday is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Luke's gospel is the miracle of the Loaves and Fishes.
