Meditaton
The smallest functonal unity of human life is
not the individual. Every man and woman, no
mater how deformed in spirit or body, exists
because he or she was born of the coming
together of two human beings. No infant
survives without acts of touching and feeding
which are acts of human relatonship. If we
exist at all, we exist as the product of some
form of human community.
We profess that we have been created in
God's image. Our self-image is so clearly and
relentlessly one of life in community that we
can not help but see in the scriptures
suggestons and revelatons of God's own life
as life for and with the other. Though we will
never come to know God as God knows
himself, every sign of God's acton in our
world leads us to him as a God in interacton.
Creaton itself is God's self-expression, the
extension of his love to that which is other
than himself. God's ongoing dialogue with
creaton reaches its climax in Jesus who is God
-among-us. This Jesus is taken up into the
fullness of the Father's glory and the fullness
of their love is poured forth upon us in the gif
of the Spirit. Though we falter before the
complexity of centuries of theology seeking to
understand the unfathomable depths of God,
we resolutely form the shape of our faith by
praying day afer day to the Father, through
the Son and in the Holy Spirit.

Vienna Internatonal Religious Centre
Entrance Antphon
Blest be God the Father,
and the Only Begoten Son of God,
and also the Holy Spirit,
for he has shown us his merciful love.

Collect
God our Father, who by sending into the world
the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctfcaton
made known to the human race your wondrous mystery,
grant us, we pray, that in professing the true faith,
we may acknowledge the Trinity of eternal glory
and adore your Unity, powerful in majesty.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

First reading
Exodus 34:4-6,8-9
With the two tablets of stone in his hands, Moses went up the moun-
tain of Sinai in the early morning as the Lord had commanded him. And
the Lord descended in the form of a cloud, and Moses stood with him
there.
He called on the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him and
proclaimed, The Lord, a God of tenderness and compassion, slow to
anger rich in kindness and faithfulness. And Moses bowed down to
the ground at once and worshipped. If I have indeed won your favour,
Lord, he said let my Lord come with us, I beg. True, they are a head-
strong people, but forgive us our faults and our sins, and adopt us as
your heritage.

Cantcle
Daniel 3:52-55
You are blest, Lord God of our fathers.
R. To you glory and praise for evermore.
Blest your glorious holy name.
To you glory and praise for evermore.
You are blest in the temple of your glory.
To you glory and praise for evermore.
You are blest on the throne of your kingdom.
To you glory and praise for evermore.
You are blest who gaze into the depths.
To you glory and praise for evermore.
You are blest in the frmament of heaven.
To you glory and praise for evermore.

Second reading
2 Corinthians 13:11-13
Brothers, we wish you happiness; try to grow perfect; help one anoth-
er. Be united; live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with
you.
Greet one another with the holy kiss. All the saints send you
greetngs.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellow-
ship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Gospel Acclamaton
cf.Rv1:8
Alleluia, alleluia!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
the God who is, who was, and who is to come.
Alleluia!



Gospel
John 3:16-18
Jesus said to Nicodemus:
God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost
but may have eternal life.
For God sent his Son into the world
not to condemn the world,
but so that through him the world might be saved.
No one who believes in him will be condemned;
but whoever refuses to believe is condemned already,
because he has refused to believe in the name of Gods only Son.

Prayer over the Oferings
Sanctfy by the invocaton of your name,
we pray, O Lord our God,
this oblaton of our service,
and by it make of us an eternal ofering to you.
Through Christ our Lord.

Communion Antphon
Gal 4: 6
Since you are children of God,
God has sent into your hearts the Spirit of his Son,
the Spirit who cries out: Abba, Father.

Prayer afer Communion
May receiving this Sacrament, O Lord our God,
bring us health of body and soul,
as we confess your eternal holy Trinity and undivided Unity.
Through Christ our Lord.

Trinity Sunday
"No sooner do I conceive of the One than I am
illumined by the Splendour of the Three; no
sooner do I distnguish Them than I am carried
back to the One. When I think of any One of
the Three I think of Him as the Whole, and my
eyes are flled, and the greater part of what I
am thinking of escapes me."
