The Most Holy Trinity - Solemnity

Book of Exodus

34,4b-6.8-9.

Early in the morning Moses went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him, taking along the two stone tablets.
Having come down in a cloud, the LORD stood with him there and proclaimed his name, "LORD."
Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out, "The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity,
Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship.
Then he said, "If I find favor with you, O Lord, do come along in our company. This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins, and receive us as your own."

Book of Daniel

3,52.53.54.55.56.

Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever;
and blessed is your holy and glorious name,
praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages.
Blessed are you in the temple of your holy glory,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.
Blessed are you on the throne of your kingdom,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.
Blessed are you who look into the depths
from your throne upon the cherubim;
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever.
Blessed are you in the firmament of heaven,
praiseworthy and glorious forever.

Second Letter to the Corinthians

13,11-13.

Brothers and sisters, rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the holy ones greet you.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the holy Spirit be with all of you.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John

3,16-18.

God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten 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.

St. Francis Caracciolo(Co-Founder (1563-1608))

ST. FRANCIS CARACCIOLOPriest and co-founder of the Congregation of the Minor Clerics Regular(1563-1608) St. Francis Caracciolo was born in the kingdom of Naples to a princely family. Preferring to recite the Rosary instead of amusing himself, a young Francis regularly visited the Eucharist and distributed his food among the poor. A sign of divine intervention was when Francis contracted leprosy, but was miraculously cured. Fully restored, he left home to study for the priesthood at Naples, where he spent his leisure hours visiting prisoners and adoring the Eucharist in unfrequented churches. Ordained at 25, God showed Fr. Francis his vocation: founding an order of clerics regular. The Order's rule was that one priest fasted on bread and water, another took the discipline, a third wore a hair-shirt, and all three took turns in perpetual Adoration. To add to their usual vows, they also added the refusal of official dignities. On foot and without money, Fr. Francis undertook many journeys through Italy and Spain to establish his Order, subsisting on the crusts given to him in charity. Being elected general, he redoubled his austerities and devoted seven hours daily to meditating on the Passion, besides praying for most of the night before the Eucharist, the Treasure of the Church. Fr. Francis was commonly called the Preacher of Divine Love, but it was before the Blessed Sacrament that his ardent devotion was clearly perceptible. In the presence of his divine Lord, Francis' face emitted rays of light. According to his custom, Fr. Francis would lay prostrate before the tabernacle, repeating, "Zeal for your house has consumed me." At age 44, Fr. Francis passed away from fever on the eve of Corpus Christi, in 1608, saying, "Let us go, let us go to heaven!" When his body was opened after death, his heart was found as it were burnt up, and these words imprinted around it: "Zelus domus Tuæ comedit me" - "The zeal of Thy house hath eaten me up."

St. Clotilda(Queen (476-545))

---

SAINT CLOTILDA Queen (476-545) St. Clotilda was the daughter of Chilperic, a younger brother to Gondebald, the king of Burgundy. Gondebald put Chilperic, the latter's wife, and all his other brothers, except one, to death in order to usurp their dominions. Clotilda was brought up in her uncle's court and providentially instructed in the Catholic faith. She was educated in the midst of Arians. Clotilda's wit, beauty, meekness, modesty and piety made her the adoration of all the neighboring kingdoms. Clovis I, surnamed the Great, the victorious king of the Franks, demanded and obtained her in marriage. She honored her royal husband, studied to sweeten his warlike temper by Christian meekness, conformed herself to his humor in things that were indifferent, and, the better to gain his affections, made those things the subject of her discourse and praises in which she knew him to take the greatest delight. When she saw herself mistress of his heart, she did not defer the great work of endeavoring to win him to God, but the fear of giving offence to his people made him delay his conversion. His miraculous victory over the Alemanni and his entire conversion in 496 were at length the fruit of our Saint's prayers. Clotilda, having gained to God this great monarch, never ceased to excite him to glorious actions for the divine honor. Among other religious foundations, he built in Paris at her request, about the year 511, the great church of Sts. Peter and Paul, now called St. Genevieve's. This great prince died on November 27, 511, at the age of 45, having reigned thirty years. His eldest son, Theodoric, reigned at Rheims over the eastern parts of France; Clodomir reigned at Orleans; Childebert at Paris; and Clotaire I at Soissons. This division produced wars and mutual jealousies, till in 560 the whole monarchy was reunited under Clotaire, the youngest of these brothers. The dissension in her family contributed more perfectly to wean Clotilda's heart from the world. She spent the remaining part of her life in exercises of prayer, almsdeeds, watching, fasting and penance, seeming totally to forget that she had been queen or that her sons sat on the throne. Eternity filled her heart and employed all her thoughts. Clotilda foretold her death thirty days before it happened. On the thirtieth day of her illness, she received the sacraments, made a public confession of her faith, and departed to the Lord on June 4, 545. Her life of total abandonment and conformity to the divine saw her soul perfected: She attained the beatific vision and reigns alongside Jesus Christ forever.
