The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
(Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time)
First Reading: Exodus 34:4-6, 8-9
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]4[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So Moses cut two tables of stone like the first; and he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]5[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]6[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The LORD passed before him, and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]8[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And Moses made haste to bow his head toward the earth, and worshiped. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]9[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And he said, "If now I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in the midst of us, although it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thy inheritance." [/FONT]
Psalm: (Ps) Daniel 3:52-55
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]53[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory, praiseworthy and glorious above all forever.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]54[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]55[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Blessed are you who look into the depths from your throne upon the cherubim, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.[/FONT]
Second Reading: 2 Corinthians 13:11-13
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]11 [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Finally, brethren, farewell. Mend your ways, heed my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]12[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Greet one another with a holy kiss. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]13[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]All the saints greet you. [/FONT]
[/FONT]Gospel: John 3:16-18
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]16[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]17[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]18[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. [/FONT]
Be steadfast in true friendship, because there is nothing so precious in human relations. It is a great consolation in this life to have a friend to whom we can open our heart.
