Pope at Angelus: The Trinity is love in service of the world

08/06/2020   The Vatican

Pope Francis during Angelus (Vatican Media)

Taking his inspiration from Sunday’s Gospel on this, the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity, Pope Francis underlined God’s love for the world.

The Pope noted that, in his brief dialogue with Nicodemus, Jesus presents Himself as “He who brings to fulfilment the Father’s plan of salvation for the world.”

Jesus affirms: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life”… Read more »

Readings of the day

First Reading: 1 Kings 17, 1-6
Psalm: 120 (121), 1-2.3-4.5-6.7-8

Gospel: Mt 5, 1-12

Seeing the crowds, Jesus went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you”… Read more »

With the intercession of St Paul, let us ask for the gift to understand that God loves us – The Archbishop

Mass on the solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

07/06/2020   St Paul's Grotto, Rabat, Malta

Homily by Archbishop Charles Jude Scicluna

This year’s readings for the Solemnity of the Blessed Trinity bring us quite an important aspect of the mystery of the God we believe in. I would say that there is one idea, word, that we meet in every one of the three readings we had and this is love.

In the Gospel Jesus dialogues with Nicodemus and tells him: “God so loved that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (Jn 3:16)… Read more »
