READING 1 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 Moses 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."

Reading 2 2 Corinthians 13: 11-13

Brothers and sisters, rejoice. Mend your ways, encourage one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the holy ones greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

Gospel 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.

Our response today will be: Holy Trinity Hear Us

For our president, governors, mayors and all leaders throughout our country and world … for men and women who seek truth and the good of humanity… for those who are stiff-necked and stubborn, and for all who do not recognize the true needs of our world and her people… We pray to the Lord: R: Holy Trinity Hear Us

For our church and her leaders … for faithful ministry that glorifies the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

and upholds the dignity and safety of all human beings from conception to natural death …

We pray to the Lord: R: Holy Trinity Hear Us

For an end to racism, extremism and unjust systems… For a greater desire to mend our ways, encourage one another, seek agreement amidst our diversity and promote harmony as we work together for peace and tranquility… We pray to the Lord: R: Holy Trinity Hear Us

For family relationships that are strained or unhappy … For words that nurture rather than criticize… For loving actions that foster holy living… We pray to the Lord: R: Holy Trinity Hear Us

For a greater awareness of the working and movement of the Holy Trinity in our parish and in our world… For comfort from our heavenly Father… for a fervor for justice inspired by Jesus’ actions… for the Holy Spirit’s wisdom, temperance, and courage as we respond

to the struggles of this day and age… We pray to the Lord: R: Holy Trinity Hear Us

For those who are burdened in body, mind or spirit, especially those named in the parish bulletin and on our website, espe-cially those still suffering from this pandemic…. for an outpouring of love in their lives… We pray to the Lord: R: Holy Trinity Hear Us For all who have died, especially victims of violence and plague… for these and all the deceased...

We pray to the Lord: R: Holy Trinity Hear Us
