Okay, this may sound like a ridiculous question to many of you… but several times during Mass the priest says “The Lord be with you”. Here’s my question… I know we use “Lord” to refer to Jesus at times, and also to God the Father at other times. During Mass, before the Gospel and during the Eucharistic Prayer, which person of the trinity is being referenced when the priest says “The Lord be with you”?
 
I think that because there is no antecedent to these instances of the use of the word Lord, that it could refer to all three persons of the Trinity.

-or-

Because Jesus said, “wherever two or more of you are gathered, I shall be there,” the reference is to Jesus Christ.

Interesting question though.
