The God of Love and Peace
This Sunday, after all the events and celebrations of Passiontide and Easter, we come to ponder the great mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, which binds them all together.
In the First Reading, Moses goes up Mount Sinai to plead for his sinful people. He enters the cloud of the Lord’s presence and discovers a God of tenderness, compassion and forgiveness.
The Canticle that follows comes from the Book of Daniel, and is a song of praise to bless and glorify God in the heavens and in creation.
St Paul closes his letter to the Corinthians (Second Reading) with a blessing of the three Persons, one God.
The Gospel is part of Jesus’s conversation with Nicodemus. It clearly states that the Father gave his Son Jesus, with infinite love, to bring eternal life.
May we strive to live this week in the fellowship of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, spreading God’s love and peace.
