Trinity Sunday

For Trinity Sunday, May 26th in A.D. 2024, I offer the following sequence of Trinitarian prayers from Part Three: Daily Offices for the Laity, First Hour Office, from the AIC Bookstore Publication, Hear Us, O Lord: Daily Prayers for the Laity.

Second Prayer

WE thank thee, O Holy Trinity, for this new day. Enlighten the eyes of our understanding, open our ears to receive thy words and teach us thy commendments. Help us to do thy will, to confess thee from our hearts, to extol thine all-holy Name, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and for ever and unto ages of ages. (From an Eastern Orthodox prayer named for Basil of Caesarea, 5th or 6th C.)

Second Antiphon

Thee, God the Father, unbegotten;
Thee, the only-begotten Son;
Thee, the Holy Ghost, the Comforter;
One Holy and Undivided Trinity;
With our whole heart and with our mouth
We confess and praise thee. To thee be glory for ever and ever. Amen

(from a Sarum Antiphon, England, 13th-14th C.)

Third Prayer

O MOST holy Trinity, Almighty God, who gives life and vigor to every creature, who sheds light eternal where there is darkness; We offer Thee our hearts, our souls, and our whole being that we may offer perfect praise and love to Thy glorious Name. Amen. (from a Roman Catholic Holy Trinity prayer, date unknown).

Glory be to God for all things! Amen!
