MAY 26 - THE GOSPEL
breski1
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 28,16-20.
The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
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,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

Abbot
The priesthood of Christ, p. Christ the ideal of the Priest
Eternal praise in the heart of the Trinity
What is this glory that the divine persons render to each other? In His essence God is not only great, magnus, but also the object of all praise. (Ps. 47:1) It is preeminently fitting that he should receive the glory due His majesty. It is fitting that He be glorified in himself by a praise corresponding to the immensity of power and wisdom, and of love which are in Him.
The Father engenders the Son, from all eternity He communicates to Him that supreme gift, the life and the perfection of the divinity. He communicates to Him all that He is in himself except that which is proper to Him, His paternity. Being His perfect substantial image, the Word is the "the splendor of the Glory of the Father.' (Heb. 1:3). Born of the focus of all light, His brilliance is reflected back like an unbroken canticle towards Him from whom He comes. "All things are mine and all that is mine is yours" (Jn 17:10) Thus by the natural impulse of His filiation the Son receiprocates to the Father all that He has from Him. The Holy Spirit, who is charity, has His exclusive source of origin in the love between the Father and the Son. This union of infinite love between the three persons effects the eternal communication of life in the bosum of the trinity, Such is the Glory which God renders to Himself in the sacred intimacy which is His eternal life.
