Reading of the Week
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
Prayer of the Week
Lord God, help us who are allowed to hear your Word. Help us come with all our hearts to the Savior, who leads us into your arms. Hear our pleading and let your countenance shine over the world. Send a new age soon, a new salvation to the earth, to the glory of your name. Show us that what we have learned about you is the truth and that we may live in the truth and find the way through to heaven, to the glory of your name. Hear us, O Lord our God. Often it seems that you are far away. But we know that our voices still reach you and that those roused by your Holy Spirit will become your workers for the Lord Jesus. Send your Spirit soon, O Lord God. Send the Comforter, who leads us into all light and all truth. We entrust ourselves and our daily lives to you. We want to be faithful. Help us to be your children, to remember at every step that we belong to you, Lord God. No matter how dark it is on earth, help us remember that we are with you, your children in eternity. Amen.

The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
Reading 1
Proverbs 8:22-31
Thus says the wisdom of God:
\n \"The LORD possessed me, the beginning of his ways,
\n the forerunner of his prodigies of long ago;
\n from of old I was poured forth,
\n at the first, before the earth.
\n When there were no depths I was brought forth,
\n when there were no fountains or springs of water;
\n before the mountains were settled into place,
\n before the hills, I was brought forth;
\n while as yet the earth and fields were not made,
\n nor the first clods of the world.
\n
\n \"When the Lord established the heavens I was there,
\n when he marked out the vault over the face of the deep;
\n when he made firm the skies above,
\n when he fixed fast the foundations of the earth;
\n when he set for the sea its limit,
\n so that the waters should not transgress his command;
\n then was I beside him as his craftsman,
\n and I was his delight day by day,
\n playing before him all the while,
\n playing on the surface of his earth;
\n and I found delight in the human race.
Responsorial Psalm
Psalm 8:4-5, 6-7, 8-9
R (2a) O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
\nWhen I behold your heavens, the work of your fingers,
\n the moon and the stars which you set in place —
\nWhat is man that you should be mindful of him,
\n or the son of man that you should care for him?
\nR O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
\nYou have made him little less than the angels,
\n and crowned him with glory and honor.
\nYou have given him rule over the works of your hands,
\n putting all things under his feet:
\nR O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!
\nAll sheep and oxen,
\n yes, and the beasts of the field,
\nThe birds of the air, the fishes of the sea,
\n and whatever swims the paths of the seas.
\nR O Lord, our God, how wonderful your name in all the earth!

Romans 5:1-5
Brothers and sisters:
\nTherefore, since we have been justified by faith,
\nwe have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
\nthrough whom we have gained access by faith
\nto this grace in which we stand,
\nand we boast in hope of the glory of God.
\nNot only that, but we even boast of our afflictions,
\nknowing that affliction produces endurance,
\nand endurance, proven character,
\nand proven character, hope,
\nand hope does not disappoint,
\nbecause the love of God has been poured out into our hearts
\nthrough the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

Gospel
John 16:12-15
Jesus said to his disciples:
\n\"I have much more to tell you, but you cannot bear it now.
\nBut when he comes, the Spirit of truth,
\nhe will guide you to all truth.
\nHe will not speak on his own,
\nbut he will speak what he hears,
\nand will declare to you the things that are coming.
\nHe will glorify me,
\nbecause he will take from what is mine and declare it to you.
\nEverything that the Father has is mine;
\nfor this reason I told you that he will take from what is mine
\nand declare it to you.
