Lectio Divina for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity
We begin our prayer:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit. Amen.
God our Father, who by sending into the world
the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctification
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.
(Collect, Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity)
Reading (Lectio)
Read the following Scripture two or three times.
John 3:16-18
God so loved the world that he gave his only 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.
Meditation (Meditatio)
After the reading, take some time to reflect in
silence on one or more of the following questions:
• What word or words in this passage caught
your attention?
• What in this passage comforted you?
• What in this passage challenged you?
If practicing lectio divina as a family or in a
group, after the reflection time, invite the
participants to share their responses.
Prayer (Oratio)
Read the Scripture passage one more time. Bring
to the Lord the praise, petition, or thanksgiving
that the Word inspires in you.
Contemplation (Contemplatio)
Read the Scripture again, followed by this
reflection:
What conversion of mind, heart, and life is the
Lord asking of me?
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son.
How can I share God’s love with the world? How
I am willing to give of myself in love?
For God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn the world, but that the world might be
saved through him. Whom have I judged too
harshly? How can I engage the broader culture in
faith?
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned.
Do I know anyone who is searching for God?
How can I accompany them on their journey?
After a period of silent reflection and/or
discussion, all recite the Lord’s Prayer and the
following:
Closing Prayer:
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 glorious 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.
(From Daniel 3)
Living the Word This Week
How can I make my life a gift for others in
charity?
Every day this week, pray for some event or need
that you see in the headlines.
