＊＊＊ 1st Reading ＊＊＊     

Exodus 34:46-6, 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 the Lord had commanded. And Yahweh came down

in a cloud and stood there with him, and Moses called on the name of Yahweh. Then the Lord passed

in front of him and cried out, "Lord, Lord 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."

 

Dn 3:52, 53, 54, 55, 56

＊＊＊ 2nd Reading ＊＊＊

2Corinthians 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 ＊＊＊      

John 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.

 

Gospel Reflection ：

Lectio Divina 

We are called to live in love.

 Read: On this Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, the readings recount the experiences of God's people.

In the Old Testament, they recognize God as the Father. With the birth of the Lord Jesus,

they also encounter the person of the Son, sent by the Father. In the early Church,

the Trinitarian formula was already in use, as indicated by the reading from Paul's letter to the Corinthians.

 

Reflect: God is love; indeed, perfect love. Throughout history, humanity has experienced God's immense love.

He had done everything possible for people to experience His goodness and remain united with Him.

We saw how God cares for us as the Father, Son, and Spirit. In the baptism of Jesus,

the voice of the Father was heard, and the Spirit, in the form of a dove, rested upon him.

Although there are three persons, their love for one another is so perfect that they are entirely

united- a union so complete that each always operates in harmony.

 

Created in God's image, we are called to live in love-a love that is not merely a feeling but a commitment.

We are called to care for, share with, help, and uplift one another. Indeed,

we are called to love because, created in God's image, we also embody the love of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.

 

Pray: Most Holy Trinity, draw me into your divine love to make myself a channel of love.

 

Act: Thank the Lord of love by reaching out to a needy neighbor.
