THE GOSPEL
Matthew 28:16-20And behold, I am with you all days until the end of the age.
In the name of
the Father
(who gave us his only child),
and of
the Son
(who gives us himself,
revealing eternal Love for us),
and of
the Holy Spirit.
(our constant companion now
and always):
“We can only stand in awe-struck silence
before such love that is beyond boldest expectation,
beyond all telling.*
THE FIRST READING
Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40
Ask from one end of the sky to the other;
did anything so great ever happen before?
Moses
showed to his people
the way in which God had
created them,
chosen them,
spoken to them,
saved them from terror
and showed them all manner
of signs and wonders.
He asked,
what else so great
had ever happened before.
Was it ever told that God would
show his very self
to his own
people?
All these wonders were theirs,
from one end of the sky
to the other.
Moses didn’t know the
half of it.
