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."

Brothers and sisters, rejoice.
Mend your ways, encourage one another,

Greet one another with a holy kiss.
All the holy ones greet you.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ

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.
