Holy Trinity

Sunday after Pentecost
THE SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

INTRODUCTION
June 4, 2023

Good noon/afternoon brothers and sisters in Christ.

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, the center of our Christian Faith and life.

The First Reading is from the Book of Exodus. In this account, the Lord revealed himself as "a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, rich in kindness and fidelity."

The Second Reading is from the Second Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians. In this account, St. Paul mentions each Person in the Blessed Trinity.

The Gospel is from the Holy Gospel according to St. John. This account narrates the conversation of Jesus and Nicodemus and Jesus emphasizes the boundless love of the Father for mankind.

Let us all stand to begin the Eucharistic celebration.


FIRST READING
Ex. 34:4b-6,8-9

The Lord, the Lord, a merciful and gracious God.

A reading from the Book of Exodus

  Early in the morning Moses went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him, taking along the two stone tablets.

Having come down in a cloud, the LORD stood with Moses there and proclaimed his name, "LORD." Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out,

"The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity." Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship. Then he said, "If I find favor with you, O LORD, do come along in our company. This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins, and receive us as your own."

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Dn 3:52, 53,54,55

R. (52b) Glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever; and blessed is your holy and glorious name, praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages.

R. Glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory, praiseworthy and glorious above all forever.

R. Glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.

R. Glory and praise for ever!

Blessed are you who look into the depths from your throne upon the cherubim, praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.

R. Glory and praise for ever!

SECOND READING
2Cor. 13:11-13

The grace of Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.

A reading from second Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians

  Brothers and sisters, rejoice.
Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the holy ones greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

The word of the Lord.

GOSPEL
Jn. 3:16-18

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John

   God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

The Gospel of the Lord.


PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

Priest: Having received from the Blessed Trinity the gifts of life and faith, let us approach the throne of glory, pleading for the needs of all mankind. Let our response be:
O MOST HOLY TRINITY, HEAR US.

1. For the Holy Father, our Bishops, and Priests, may they be constantly strengthened in the fulfillment of their pastoral duty and see the fruits of their dedication. Let us pray.

3. For all the families in our parish, may the three Divine Persons bind them together in love and harmony and be reflected in the mutual relationships of all the members of each family. Let us pray.

4. For ourselves and all the people dear to us, may Blessed Trinity open our hearts to derive from it the grace joy, courage, and inspiration. Let us pray.

5. For all who offered praises and thanksgiving to God especially, may the Blessed Trinity guide them to do things that pleases the Him. Let us pray.

IKA-KAWHAA'G-TULO NGA DOMINGG

  IKA-KAWHAA'G-TULO NGA DOMINGGO A. Unang Basahon Isaias 35:4-7 Ang pagbasa gikuha gikan sa basahon ni Propeta Isaias. Ingna ang nakabsan na'g paglaum, "pagmaisog ug ayaw kahadlok! Moanha ang imong Dios aron sa pagpanimalos sa imong mga kaaway ug iya kamong luwason." Makakita na unya ang buta ug makadungog na ang bungol; magluksolukso na ang bakol daw lagsaw, ug mag-awit ang amang sa kalipay. Kay didto sa kamingawan modagayday ang tubig, ug may sapa na ang disyerto. Ang kaniadto balas nga init kaayo, mahimo nang usa ka linaw; ug ang nanliki nga yuta, mahimo nang tinubdan sa tubig; ug sa mga dapit diin bugang ug kupong-kupong ray nanubo ug gipuy-an sa mga lobo manubo na ang mga sagbot. Mga igsoon, ang Pulong sa Ginoo. B. Salmo Responsoryo Salmo 146:7,8-9,9-10 Tubag (R) - Dayega ang Ginoo, kalag ko. Ang Dios ni Jacob matinumanon hangtud sa kahangturan, nagapadangat sa katarong alang sa gidaugdaug, naghatag og pagkaon sa gigutom. Ang Ginoo nagaluwas sa mga bihag....

IKA-KAWHAA'G-UPAT NGA DOMINGGO A. Unang Basahon Isaias 50:4-9 Ang pagbasa gikuha gikan sa basahon ni Propeta Isaias. Gitudloan ako sa Ginoong Dios sa angay kong isulti aron mahibalo akong modasig niadtong gikapuyan. Matag buntag gidasig niya ako sa pagpaminaw sa buot niyang itudlo kanako. Giablihan sa Ginoo ang akong salabotan, ug wala ako mosupak ni mobiya kaniya. Gipatara ko ang akong likod niadtong buot mohampak kanako, ug ang akong aping ngadto sa mga milagnot sa akong bungot; wala ko ilingiw ang akong nawong sa nagbugalbugal ug nagluwa kanako. Kay mitabang man kanako ang Ginoong Dios, busa wala ako maunsa; ingon sa batong bantili, ug nasayod ako nga dili gayud ako maulawan; ang molaban sa akong katungod ania sa akong duol. Kinsay makig-away kanako? Magdungan kita pag-adto sa hukmanan. Kinsay akong kaaway? Paduola siya kanako. Mitabang kanako ang Ginoong Dios, kinsay moingon sad-an ako? Mangadunot silang tanan sama sa bisti; ug kutkoton sila sa anay. Mga igsoon, ang Pulong sa G...
