Human Trinitarian mission is not a certain amount of measurable information to be communicated, taught or handed over. It is an integration of communion and communication. It is missioning - by presence (communion) and word (communication) - of God’s everlasting revealing, coming and dwelling.
It is said that mission is fundamentally an inner transformation which allows us to see what is really there to see, to experience the humble God living in us, and us as living in God. Mission is choosing to have our eyes opened to the world and to hope in the Reign of God that is around us. It is a disposition towards peace and justice, desiring to see all as it is intended to be by God.

Trinity as family.
The human family, created in God’s image and likeness, is at the same time a reflection of the Holy Trinity. The life of the trinity and the life of the Church are intimately related. Humans, too, realise fully their own personality when they enter into personal relationship with others. If the Trinity is the teaching about God’s life with us and our life with each other, then patriarchy, all forms of ppression and all forms of unjust relationships are unequivocally antithetical to our understanding of God who is community.
While traveling through the world "let the brothers and sisters be gentle, peaceful and unassuming, mild and humble, speaking respectfully to all in accord with their vocation. In this way they establish peace and communion among themselves and among others.
The preyer-filled union of the abbess and of the sisters of San Damiano radiated love, joy, peace, despite the austerity of their life. It is the same kind of brotherly-sisterly-motherly love that we are invited to show each brother or sister of ours in the family.
