SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
Psalter: Proper / (White)
Dn 3:52, 53, 54, 55, 56
Glory and praise for ever!
1st Reading: Ex 34:4b-6, 8-9
So Moses cut two tablets of stone like the first and, with the two tablets of stone in his hands, Moses went up Mount Sinai in the early morning, as Yahweh has commanded.
And Yahweh came down in a cloud and stood there with him, and Moses called on the name of Yahweh.
Then Yahweh passed in front of him and cried out, “Yahweh, Yahweh is a God full of pity and mercy, slow to anger and abounding in truth and loving kindness.
Moses hastened to bow down to the ground and worshiped. He then said, “If you really look kindly on me, my Lord, please come and walk in our midst and even though we are a stiff necked people, pardon our wickedness and our sin and make us yours.”
2nd Reading: 2 Cor 13:11-13
Finally, brothers and sisters, be happy, strive to be perfect, have courage, be of one mind and live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.
The grace of Christ Jesus the Lord, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Gospel: Jn 3:16-18
Yes, God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but may have eternal life. God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world; instead, through him the world is to be saved. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned. He who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
REFLECTION:
Read: God reveals Himself to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Pauline greeting invokes the Trinitarian essence of God. The gospel proclaims the inexhaustible depths of God’s love that gives away the Son to redeem humanity.
Reflect: The following characteristics of God are revealed through the readings of the day: God = fullness of mercy, abounds in truth and loving kindness; God of love and peace; giver of eternal life and salvation. And if we are created in the image and likeness of this God, how does our life reflect the above characteristics of God?
Pray: Pray for the daily gift of grace, love, and fellowship of the Trinitarian God in your life.
Act: Spend at least 20 minutes in Holy Adoration.
