Mass Readings - Sunday, 7th June 2020

FIRST READING
A reading from the Book of Exodus   34:4-6. 8-9
Our Lord is a God of tenderness and compassion.

With the two tablets of stone in his hands, he went up the mountain
of Sinai in the early morning as the Lord had commanded him. And
the Lord descended in the form of a cloud, and Moses stood with
him there.
He called on the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him and
proclaimed, the Lord, a God of tenderness and compassion, slow to
anger, rich in kindness and faithfulness; And Moses bowed down to
the ground at once and worshipped.
‘If I have indeed won your favour, Lord,’ he said ‘let my Lord come
with us, I beg. True, they are a headstrong people, but forgive us our
faults and our sins, and adopt us as your heritage.’

The Word of the Lord.


Responsorial Psalm    Dan 3:52-56

1. You are blest, Lord God of our fathers.

2. You are blest in the temple of your glory.
You are blest on the throne of your kingdom.

3. You are blest who gaze into the depths.
You are blest in the firmament of heaven.



SECOND READING
A reading from the second letter of St Paul to the Corinthians    13:11-13

Brothers, we wish you happiness; try to grow perfect; help one
another.
Be united; live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with
you.

GOSPEL John    3:16-18
For God sent his Son into the world so that through him the world
might be saved.

Jesus said to Nicodemus,
God loved the world so much
that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not be lost but may have eternal life.
For God sent his Son into the world
not to condemn the world,
but so that through him the world might be saved.
No one who believes in him will be condemned;
but whoever refuses to believe is condemned already,
because he has refused to believe
in the name of God’s only Son.

The Gospel of the Lord.
