The Holy Trinity Solemnity
Also Read: Mass Readings for 15 June 2025 Sunday Reflection by Mike – 15 June 2025
First Reading: Proverbs 8: 22-31
Wisdom’s Song!
“The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be.” (22-23)
We see Wisdom personified in this poetic and powerful rendition by Wisdom herself! We can imagine Wisdom as this sprightly woman, engrossed in her chores with a joy unparalleled! We know the joy she possesses is a natural consequence of her constant abiding with the Lord God!
Let us ask the Lord God, on this Holy Trinity Sunday, to bestow on us the Wisdom we always need. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 8: 4-9
What is humanity that you are mindful of, human beings that you care for? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honour. (4-5)
Alleluia, Amen.
Second Reading: Romans 5: 1-5
The Mystery of Hope!
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (3-5)
St. Paul seeks to strengthen the faith of believers in the passage today, even when faced with persecution. Yet, these words are relevant to us even today! We know our battles are not the same as the early Christians. But we surely face spiritual battles daily.
Let us take courage from St. Paul’s words today. Let us persevere and find the hope that comes from the Lord Jesus Christ alone. We can find hope in Him, because he has poured out His Love into our hearts! Every time we gaze at the crucifix we are reminded of the depths of God’s love for us! We ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen our resolve and renew our hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Alleluia: Revelation 1: 8
Alleluia, Alleluia! “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “Who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Alleluia!
Gospel: John 16: 12-15
The Wealth of Discipleship!
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. (13-14)
When He was here on earth, the Lord Jesus Christ taught his disciples so much, yet He couldn’t reveal many things to them! Hence, the Lord God has given us the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Truth! Today, we are blessed with the Holy Spirit at Baptism but simultaneously, we are called to renew our faith and rekindle the flame in our hearts.
“O that today, we will listen to his voice, let us not harden our hearts!” (Ps. 95.9; Heb. 3:8) When we dedicate time to reading the Bible daily, we have daily adoration in our homes, when we live contemplative lives, grateful for God’s mercy and the faith that he has ingrained in us; we will be able to tread more closely to the Holy One of God! Then we will hear him speak more closely and clearly in our hearts!
Let us pray that we receive the grace to live such discipled lives, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
Holy Trinity One God, We Praise and Adore you. Amen, Alleluia!
