Introduction
(Solemnity
of the Holy Trinity)
May 26, 2013
Dear
brothers and sisters in Christ, good morning!
Baptized as Christians, our whole life is
marked by the sign of the Trinity. The
Father has created us in love. The Son
came to the world to make it possible for us to recover our exalted status as
children of God, which we lost because of sin.
The Holy Spirit continues the work of the Son in the Church and in
history until the Lord Jesus returns in glory.
Indeed, the mystery of the Trinity is both
the origin and the final goal of our journey.
Someday our eyes will contemplate the face of God who is Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit.
Please rise for the entrance hymn!
Prayers of the
Faithful
(Solemnity
of the Holy Trinity)
(Priest): The Father, through the Holy Spirit, has
given life to the humanity of Christ his Son, and has made him a source of life
for us. Let us raise our petitions to the triune God as we pray:
“Lord,
hear our prayer”
(Reader):
· Heavenly Father,
send your Spirit to the Church that he may help us in our frailty and provide
us with gifts that will make us pleasing to you. We pray: (R)
· Christ Jesus, send
the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete, to religious and political leaders that they
may be filled with strength and wisdom to govern your people well. We
pray: (R)
· Lord Jesus, help
the wayward, the sick, the lonely, and those who suffer in any way. We pray: (R)
· Divine Spirit,
break the walls of divisions among us, so that one day all believers in Christ
may sit together at the table of the Eucharist.
We pray: (R)
· Father of all the
living, bring the dead to share in your glory – the glory, too, of your Son and
the Holy Spirit. We pray: (R)
(Priest): Father, you sent your Word to bring us the
truth and your Spirit to make us holy. Help us to worship you, one God in three
Persons, by proclaiming and living our faith in you.
We ask this through
Christ, our Lord. Amen.
