June 7, 2020 The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Reading 1 EX 34:4B-6, 8-9

Responsorial Psalm DN 3:52-56

R. Glory and praise for ever!

Reading 2 2 COR 13:11-13

R. Alleluia, alleluia. Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; to God who is, who was, and who is to come. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel JN 3:16-18

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least into my heart. I embrace You as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

The author of this prayer is St. Alphonsus de Liguori. Some booklets on the Stations of the Cross were also written by St. Alphonsus de Liguori. He was an Italian Bishop who wrote 111 works on spirituality and theology prior to his death in 1787.
