Each week we confess in the Creed that we believe in ‘one holy catholic and apostolic church’. Today’s Gospel gives us an insight into what we mean when we affirm that the church is apostolic.

Today is the Feast of the Holy Trinity. It’s an odd day. Most of the feasts of the Church celebrate particular events, like the birth of Jesus or his resurrection. Other feasts celebrate saints, people in whom God was visibly at work. But today’s feast celebrates God himself.
