St Dorothy – The Southern Cross

Today is the Feast of St Dorothy, patroness of gardeners, midwives and newlyweds. Legend has it that before Dorothy’s death, she was mockingly asked to show the fruits of the paradise she was heading to which was answered by 3 apples and 3 roses being delivered to the questioner after her death.

The Most Holy Trinity - Solemnity

Book of Exodus 34,4b-6.8-9.

Early in the morning Moses went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him, taking along the two stone tablets.
Having come down in a cloud, the LORD stood with him there and proclaimed his name, "LORD."
Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out, "The LORD, the LORD, a... merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity,
Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship.
Then he said, "If I find favor with you, O Lord, do come along in our company. This is indeed a stiff-necked people; yet pardon our wickedness and sins, and receive us as your own."

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 3,16-18.

God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten 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.
