Worship the Holy Trinity

Scripture/Bible: Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Matt 28:16-20

Reflection:  A good story or a film always has a happy ending; they lived happily ever after. There was a reason for such a climax; to leave a pleasant memory.  It is like having a sweet dessert after a sumptuous meal, which leaves a pleasant taste in the mouth.

In the realm of spirituality, what is life if it doesn’t lead us to the ultimate happiness which we seek and that which come through our intimacy with God, viz. Worship.  For this is what God has made us for and ordained us to and where our ultimate and real happiness lie.

Here is a first instance of the many of the dedicated disciples reaching that final goal after being with Jesus for about three years, the ultimate and intimate vision; the worship of the true and living God.

The psalmist rejoices and earnestly seeks, in this expression: “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple. Ps 27:4

The book of revelation reveals to us that one sure activity we shall be involved in heaven is that of worshipping God. (Rev. 15: 4; 22:3)

St. Paul teaches us that our daily life itself can be worship unto the Lord, even in the midst of persecutions and trials; “I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” Rom 12:1

Prayer: "Let us go to his dwelling place; let us worship at his footstool!" Ps 132:7
