the MIssIon oF the trInItyThe final four verses of St. Matthew’s Gospel are filled with symbolic meaning—summarized in the moment when Jesus definitively hands over his mission to the disciples. Notice how Jesus meets them on a mountain—recalling other significant moments in Jesus’ life: his third temptation; the

“Sermon”; the Transfiguration, and his arrest. Earlier in his ministry, Jesus had sent out the disciples only to the people of Israel (10:5); but now they are being sent throughout the whole world.

Matthew’s description of Baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit is unique in the New Testament. Doing something “in the name of” implies solidarity, or identity with the one named. In calling for a Trinitarian Baptism as the expression of discipleship, Matthew summa-rizes his teaching about Jesus as the Son of the Father and the one through whom God’s Spirit was at work.

Finally, Baptism is a sign of commitment to “do everything I have com-manded you,” implying that belief is not an intellectual assertion, but an entire new way of living. When we are baptized, Jesus shares his prophetic mission of “teaching, preaching, and sanctifying” with us and asks us, as adopted children of the Holy Spirit, to “go and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Most Holy Trinity.

May 27, 2018Weekly steWardshIP rePort

Thank you for sharing God's gifts!

steWardshIP For all oF usBeginning on Memorial Day weekend and continu-ing for the next three months, the time of vacations and weekends away, is quite challenging for our parish financially. As the attendance at our weekend liturgies dwindles, so can the weekly support of our parishioners: a very good reason to consider using ONLINE GIVING. The challenge lies in the fact that our financial responsi-bilities do not go away during the months of June, July, and August. Summer is a time for us to do some extra maintenance work around the parish.

You can sign-up online at www.paloaltocatholic.net and click the Online Giving icon on the right at the homepage. Your Sunday Offertory donations, as well as gifts to our Second Collections, will be automati-cally transferred from either your checking or savings account. Or use your credit card! A one-time enrollment will allow you to regularly contribute to St. Thomas Aquinas without remembering the extra step of writ-ing a check and finding your envelopes. Online Giving is safe, easy and convenient for you and it helps us! Questions, call Cathy Miller (650) 494-2496 ext. 24.

Free to good hoMe: olr hall PIano Due to a generous donation of a Steinway grand piano, the Yamaha piano in the OLR Hall has been deemed superfluous. We seem to have pianos in every gathering place in the parish, therefore, it is free to a good home.

No charge for the piano, but the person/family who takes it will need to to move it themselves or hire a piano mover. The parish has recommendations, if needed. Please contact Chris Lundin at clundin@stanford.edu if you are interested.
