  Første lesning Job 11,1-20 Fra Jobs bok Sophar legger frem den alminnelige mening Da tok Sophar fra Na’ama til orde og sa: Skal ikke pratmakeren få svar? Får han rett, han som bruker så store ord? Skulle ditt snakk få menn til å tie, så du kan spotte uten å bli motsagt? Du våger å si: „Min lære er ren, og jeg står skyldfri foran deg.“ Men ville Gud bare åpne munnen og ta til orde mot deg, forkynne deg sin skjulte visdom som gir dobbelt innsikt, da måtte du vel skjønne at Gud kan la din synd bli glemt. Kan du lodde dybdene i Gud eller finne noen grense for den Allmektiges storhet? Den er høyere enn himmelen - hva kan du gjøre? Og dypere enn dødsriket - hva vet du?

  The Solemn Feast of the Most Holy Trinity by Fr. Francis Xavier Weninger, 1877 . The mystery of all mysteries is presented to us today by the true Church of Christ, namely, the mystery of the Most Holy and undivided Trinity, to which we owe the deepest honor, love and devotion. . Our belief on this subject consists principally in the three following points: there is One true God, who rewards all good deeds and punishes all evil ones, either in this world or in the next; but there are, at the same time, three Persons, who according to Holy Writ, are called, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Each of these three Persons differs from the two others, namely the Father from the Son, the Son from the Father and the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Ghost from Father and Son. This difference of Persons implies, however, no difference in their nature; for they all possess only one divine nature and essence. Each of these Persons is true God.
