Sunday After Pentecost
The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity – Year C
Antiphons on p 1512 and readings on p.1516 of the Daily Missal and p 863 of the Sunday Missal
First Reading: Proverbs 8: 22-31
Thus speaks the Wisdom of God:
“The Lord created me at the beginning of his work,
the first of his acts of old.
Ages ago I was set up,
at the first, before the beginning of the earth.
When there were no depths I was brought forth
when there were no springs abounding with water.
Before the mountains had been shaped,
before the hills, I was brought forth;
before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
When he established the heavens, I was there,
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep,
when he assigned to the sea its limit
so that the waters might not transgress his command
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
then I was beside him, like a master workman;
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing before him always,
rejoicing in his inhabited world
and delighting in the human race.”
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 8:4-5, 6-7a, 7b-9 (R. 2a)
R/. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name through all the earth!
When I see the heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars which you arranged,
what is man that you should keep him in mind,
the son of man that you care for him?
Yet you have made him little lower than the angels;
with glory and honour, you crowned him,
gave him power over the works of your hands.
You put all things under his feet,
all of them, sheep and oxen,
yes, even the cattle of the fields,
birds of the air, and fish of the sea
that make their way through the waters.
R/. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name through all the earth!
Second Reading: Romans 5: 1-5
Brothers and sisters:
Since we are justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Through him, we have obtained access
to this grace in which we stand,
and we rejoice in our hope of sharing the glory of God.
More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings,
knowing that suffering produces endurance,
and endurance produces character,
and character produces hope,
and hope does not disappoint us,
because God’s love has been poured into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Gospel: John 16: 12-15
At that time:
Jesus said to his disciples,
“I have yet many things to say to you,
but you cannot bear them now.
When the Spirit of truth comes,
he will guide you into all the truth;
for he will not speak on his own authority,
but whatever he hears he will speak,
and he will declare to you
the things that are to come.
He will glorify me,
for he will take what is mine
and declare it to you.
All that the Father has is mine;
therefore I said that he will take what is mine
and declare it to you.”
