REFLECTION ON THE READINGS
“God our Father, who by sending into the world the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctification made known to the human race your wondrous mystery, grant us, we pray, that in professing the true faith, we may acknowledge the Trinity of eternal glory and adore your Unity, powerful in majesty.
1. First Reading Proverbs 8.22-31
How does this depiction of “the Wisdom of God” complement my understanding of the holy Trinity? What does it suggest about how the persons of the Holy Trinity relate to each other and to us?
Psalm 104: “O lord, our God, how majestic is your name in all the earth!”
2. Second Reading - Romans 5.1-5
According to St. Paul, how do the persons of the Holy Trinity interact to sustain our life of faith and hope for eternal life?
“Alleluia! Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit: to God who is, who was, and who is to come.”
3. Gospel Reading - John 16.12-15
Jesus knew his disciples could not grasp everything he wanted to tell them. How has the Holy Spirit helped me understand Jesus’ teaching and guided me to God’s truth? Which of the concepts I hold to be true affirm the glory of God, and which do not? On what issues would I appreciate divine guidance?
