The Most Holy Trinity - Solemnity

Book of Deuteronomy

4,32-34.39-40.

Moses said to the people: "Ask now of the days of old, before your time, ever since God created man upon the earth; ask from one end of the sky to the other: Did anything so great ever happen before? Was it ever heard of?
Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live?
Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, with his strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors, all of which the LORD, your God, did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
This is why you must now know, and fix in your heart, that the LORD is God in the heavens above and on earth below, and that there is no other.
You must keep his statutes and commandments which I enjoin on you today, that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may have long life on the land which the LORD, your God, is giving you forever."

Psalms

33(32),4-5.6.9.18-19.20.22.

Upright is the word of the LORD,
and all his works are trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the LORD the earth is full.
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made;
By the breath of his mouth all their host.
For he spoke, and it was made;
He commanded, and it stood forth.
See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield,
May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
who have put our hope in you.

Letter to the Romans

8,14-17.

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption, through which we cry, "Abba, Father!"
The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

28,16-20.

The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them.
When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted.
Then Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."

St. Philip Neri(Priest (1515-1595) - Memorial)

SAINT PHILIP NERI Priest (1515-1595) Philip was from a line of saints who consoled and blessed the Church during the sixteenth century. After a holy childhood, Philip left Florence to travel, but soon renounced worldly favors and pursued a religious vocation. While receiving spiritual formation in Rome, theHoly Spirit alighted upon Philip in visible form, filling his soul with grace. He would have gone to India, but God reserved him for Rome. Philip drew souls to Christ through regular prayer, works and his priestly ministry. Under the hands of Mary, as he said, the Oratory grew up, and all Rome was pervaded and transformed by its spirit. Miracles and superabundant grace permeated Philip's life. His state of ecstasy occurred through the norms of piety. He read the hearts of men, foretold their future and knew their eternal destiny. His touch gave health of body; and his very look calmed troubled souls and drove away temptation. "When I met him in the street," says one, "he would pat my cheek and say, 'Well, how is Don Pellegrino?' and leave me so full of joy that I could not tell which way I was going." Philip inspired confidence and love and was the common refuge and consoler of all. When sad or perplexed,Fabrizio de Massimi would stand at Philip's door. He said it was enough to see him, to be near him. Others said that when he playfully pulled their hair or their ears, their hearts would bound with joy. Marcio Altieri felt such overflowing gladness in his presence that he said Philip's room was a paradise on earth. Long after Philip's death, it was enough for many, when troubled, to go into his room to find their hearts lightened and gladdened. Philip Neri passed away at the age of 80 in 1595. He bears the title "Apostle of Rome."
