(1/5) An interesting omission in the Novus Ordo's first reading for Trinity Sunday this year (Year A)...! 
(2/5) As it happens, this is not a one-off for Trinity Sunday: we see the same kind of censorship in the first reading in Year B...
(3/5) The thing is, these aren't the readings that were originally proposed. In the 1967 draft «Ordo lectionum», we have readings that are not compromised or censored: see Schema 233 (De Missali, 39), 31 Jul 1967, pp. 73-74 (pics).
(4/5) It should also be noted that the Revised Common Lectionary (used by various Protestant groups, based on the Novus Ordo lectionary) avoids these compromised readings, assigning Genesis 1:1–2:4a and Isaiah 6:1-8 as its 1st readings for Years A and B respectively.
(5/5) If we do ever get a third edition of the Novus Ordo lectionary, then these sorts of compromised readings should be corrected, or replaced with other, more suitable ones. (Oh, and all short forms should also be abolished!)
