Feast of of the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity

Moses at Mount Sinai Jacques de Letin
1597 – 1661


From the Exodus

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."
