Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
Psalter: Proper / (White)
Ps 8:4-5, 6-7, 8-9
O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
1st Reading: Proverbs 8:22-31
2nd Reading: Romans 5:1-5
Gospel: John 16:12-15
I still have many things to tell you, but you cannot bear them now. When he, the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into the whole truth. or he will not speak of his own authority, but will speak what he hears, and he will tell you about the things which are to come. He will take what is mine and make it known to you; in doing this, he will glorify me. All that the Father has is mine; for this reason, I told you that the Spirit will take what is mine, and make it known to you.
Lectio Divina:
“The trinity is a communion of love.”
Read: The first reading describes the creative power of divine Wisdom, an image which points to the Son of God. The Son was there with the Father at creation and is the means of the Father’s saving plan. We have hope in eternal life through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Reflect: We begin our Mass, we baptize, we give blessings, all in the name of the Most Holy Trinity. The Trinity is fundamental to our Christian faith. It’s said that Christopher Columbus began every letter and every adventure in the name of the Trinity. On his third voyage in 1498, he vowed to consecrate the first land he would discover to the Trinity. Its name has remained Trinidad ever since. May the feast of the Trinity deepen our faith in the Triune God and, like Columbus, inspire us to dedicate our plans, adventures and daily living to the God who made us, redeemed us and sanctifies us.
Pray: Pray the Glory be slowly. Pray other prayers in honor of the Most Holy Trinity.
Act: The Trinity is a communion of love. We are to imitate that communion in the way we deal with other people, who are made in the image and likeness of God. Share some time with friends today or devote some time to praying for others.
