CTK -Trinity – Prayer Resources – W/C 16/06/2025
Hello everyone, and welcome back to CTKPray. The prayer theme for this week is Trinity.
Season of Ordinary Time
As we celebrate Trinity Sunday, we’re invited to pause and reflect on the mystery at the heart of our faith: one God in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This isn’t just a theological idea, but a living relationship of love that shapes who we are and how we live.
The Trinity reminds us that God is not distant or isolated but deeply connected—within God’s self and with us. We were created in the image of this divine communion, called to reflect that same love in our relationships, our choices, and our communities.
As Ordinary Time unfolds, the mystery of the Trinity continues to guide us: the Creator who gives life, the Son who walks with us, and the Spirit who empowers us. Each moment becomes a chance to live out that love—right here, right now.
Below you will find the weekly readings from Sunday’s mass and scriptures taken from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament on the theme of Trinity.

First reading Proverbs 8:22–31
22 “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work,
the first of his acts of old.
23 Ages ago I was set up,
at the first, before the beginning of the earth.
24 When there were no depths I was brought forth,
when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains had been shaped,
before the hills, I was brought forth,
26 before he had made the earth with its fields,
or the first of the dust of the world.
27 When he established the heavens, I was there;
when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when he made firm the skies above,
when he established the fountains of the deep,
29 when he assigned to the sea its limit,
so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 then I was beside him, like a master workman,
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing before him always,
31 rejoicing in his inhabited world
and delighting in the children of man.
Gospel Reading John 16:12–15
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Hebrew Bible Isaiah 48:14–16
14 “Assemble, all of you, and listen!
Who among them has declared these things?
The Lord loves him;
he shall perform his purpose on Babylon,
and his arm shall be against the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken and called him;
I have brought him, and he will prosper in his way.
16 Draw near to me, hear this:
from the beginning I have not spoken in secret,
from the time it came to be I have been there.”
And now the Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit.
New Testament Matthew 28:16–20
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Visio Divina, meaning “Divine Seeing,” is a form of prayer in the Catholic Church that involves contemplating religious images or art to encounter God. It is similar to Lectio Divina (sacred reading), but instead of focusing on scripture, the participant meditates on visual representations, such as icons, paintings, or stained glass. The process usually involves several steps: gazing at the image, meditating on its meaning, praying in response to what is seen, and contemplating how the image speaks to one’s life. This practice deepens spiritual insight and fosters a connection with the divine through sacred imagery.
Here are some song suggestions that you could use in your Celebration of the word…
Your mission this week is to… Say a prayer this week to God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit and think about who God is to you.
As we go forth today, may we carry the mystery of the Trinity in our hearts—living as people created by the Father, redeemed by the Son, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Let us reflect the love, unity, and self-giving we see in God, sharing that love in our homes, communities, and world. May our lives be a living echo of God’s presence: one in love, one in purpose, one in hope.
Let us pray:
God of mystery and communion,
You are Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—
a perfect unity of love.
Teach us to live in that love each day.
Draw us closer to You and to one another.
May we listen for the Father’s voice,
walk in the footsteps of the Son,
and be led by the Spirit’s light.
Send us out now, not alone,
but always in Your triune presence—
to love, to serve, and to bring peace.
Amen.
