Trinity
Sunday falls one week after Pentecost Sunday, and it is the day that the
Catholic Church has set aside to honor the most fundamental of Christian
beliefs—the Holy Trinity. Traditionally, the Athanasian Creed was recited in
Masses on Trinity Sunday.

Solemnity of the Holy
Trinity – Year C
5:30 pm Novena to Our Lady
6:00 pm Mass in English
First Reading
PROVERBS 8:22-31
22 'Yahweh created me,
first-fruits of his fashioning, before the oldest of his works.
23 From everlasting, I
was firmly set, from the beginning, before the earth came into being.
24 The deep was not,
when I was born, nor were the springs with their abounding waters.
25 Before the mountains
were settled, before the hills, I came to birth;
26 before he had made
the earth, the countryside, and the first elements of the world.
27 When he fixed the
heavens firm, I was there, when he drew a circle on the surface of the deep,
28 when he thickened the
clouds above, when the sources of the deep began to swell,
29 when he assigned the
sea its boundaries -- and the waters will not encroach on the shore -- when he
traced the foundations of the earth,
30 I was beside the
master craftsman, delighting him day after day, ever at play in his presence,
31 at play everywhere on
his earth, delighting to be with the children of men.
“The
Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 8:4-9
4 what are human beings
that you spare a thought for them, or the child of Adam that you care for him?
5 Yet you have made him
little less than a god, you have crowned him with glory and beauty,
6 made him lord of the
works of your hands, put all things under his feet,
7 sheep and cattle, all
of them, and even the wild beasts,
8 birds in the sky,
fish in the sea, when he makes his way across the ocean.
9 Yahweh our Lord, how
majestic your name throughout the world!
Second Reading
ROMANS 5:1-5
1 So then, now that we
have been justified by faith, we are at peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ;
2 it is through him, by
faith, that we have been admitted into God's favour in which we are living, and
look forward exultantly to God's glory.
3 Not only that; let us
exult, too, in our hardships, understanding that hardship develops
perseverance,
4 and perseverance
develops a tested character, something that gives us hope,
5 and a hope which will
not let us down, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the
Holy Spirit which has been given to us.
“The
Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
JOHN 16:12-15
12 I still have many
things to say to you but they would be too much for you to bear now.
13 However, when the
Spirit of truth comes he will lead you to the complete truth, since he will not
be speaking of his own accord, but will say only what he has been told; and he
will reveal to you the things to come.
14 He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you will be taken from what is mine.
15 Everything the Father
has is mine; that is why I said: all he reveals to you will be taken from what
is mine.
