Salamat po sa pagbisita…
 
The readings for the Trinity Sunday Year B affirm that we are members of God's family and that God desires the whole world to be united into his relationship of love. The second reading tells us that we are truly God's children. In the gospel Jesus tells his followers to baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

• God's singular might and choice: Moses reflects on God's unique acts for Israel, emphasizing His unmatched power and choice of Israel as His people. This underscores the uniqueness and sovereignty of God.

• Identity and inheritance in Christ: Paul speaks about believers being children of God, led by the Spirit. This shows the intimate relationship believers have with God, highlighting their identity and inheritance in Christ.

• God's continual presence: The promise of Jesus’ continual presence underscores His unending support and guidance to His followers in their mission.

• Unity in the Trinity: The readings collectively highlight the unity and diversity within the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and their cooperative work in the salvation of mankind and the life of believers.

Trinity Sunday - Year A - June 4, 2023

Thank you to those people who really supported us here. Please do continue visiting us and clicking the ads. Thank you.
Trinity Sunday Year A focuses on God as community. God is the Lover (Father), the Beloved (Son), and the Love which flows between them (Holy Spirit). The love of the Trinity makes God completely one.

• Unity: The doctrine of the Holy Trinity teaches that there is one God who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This unity of the Godhead is a mystery that surpasses human understanding but is essential to the Christian faith.

• Love and Grace: The love and grace that flow from the unity of the Holy Trinity are the very foundation of Christian faith and life. God the Father’s love is demonstrated in sending His Son to redeem us from sin, and the Holy Spirit’s grace is poured out to us as a result of Christ’s sacrifice.

• Implications: The doctrine of the Holy Trinity has important implications for Christian faith and life. It reminds us that God is relational and that we are called to live in loving relationships with Him and with others. It also reminds us that our salvation is a gift of God’s love and grace, not something we can earn or deserve.

• Mystery: While the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is foundational to Christian faith, it is also a mystery that surpasses human understanding. We can only grasp the mystery of the Trinity in part, but we trust in the love and grace of God revealed to us in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Reading 1                                   Ex 34:4b-6, 8-9
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."
 
Responsorial Psalm                             Dn 3:52, 53, 54, 55, 56
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!
 
Reading 2                                             2 Cor 13:11-13
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.
 
Alleluia                                                 Cf. Rv 1:8
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
to God who is, who was, and who is to come.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
Gospel                                                  Jn 3:16-18
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.

First Reading                          Prv 8:22-31
            Thus says the wisdom of God:
            "The LORD possessed me, the beginning of his ways,
                        the forerunner of his prodigies of long ago;
            from of old I was poured forth,
                        at the first, before the earth.
            When there were no depths I was brought forth,
                        when there were no fountains or springs of water;
            before the mountains were settled into place,
                        before the hills, I was brought forth;
            while as yet the earth and fields were not made,
                        nor the first clods of the world.
 
            "When the Lord established the heavens I was there,
                        when he marked out the vault over the face of the deep;
            when he made firm the skies above,
                        when he fixed fast the foundations of the earth;
            when he set for the sea its limit,
                        so that the waters should not transgress his command;
            then was I beside him as his craftsman,
                        and I was his delight day by day,
            playing before him all the while,
                        playing on the surface of his earth;
                        and I found delight in the human race."
 
Responsorial Psalm              Ps 8:4-5, 6-7, 8-9
R (2a)  O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
When I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers,
            the moon and the stars which you set in place —
What is man that you should be mindful of him,
            or the son of man that you should care for him?
R O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
You have made him little less than the angels,
            and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him rule over the works of your hands,
            putting all things under his feet:
R O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
All sheep and oxen,
            yes, and the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air, the fishes of the sea,
            and whatever swims the paths of the seas.
R O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
 
Second Reading                        Rom 5:1-5
Brothers and sisters:
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have gained access by faith
to this grace in which we stand,
and we boast in hope of the glory of God.
Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions,
knowing that affliction produces endurance,
and endurance, proven character,
and proven character, hope,
and hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
 
 
Alleluia                    Cf. Rv 1:8
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
to God who is, who was, and who is to come.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 
Gospel                    Jn 16:12-15

Jesus said to his disciples:
"I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
But when he comes, the Spirit of truth,
he will guide you to all truth.

He will not speak on his own,
but he will speak what he hears,
and will declare to you the things that are coming.
He will glorify me,
because he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
Everything that the Father has is mine;
for this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine
and declare it to you."
