worthy
Worthy of praise from every mouth,
worthy of confession from every tongue,
worthy of worship from every creature,
is your glorious name,
O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
For you created the world in your grace,
and by your compassion you saved the world.
To your majesty, O God,
ten thousand times ten thousand bow down and adore,
singing and praising without ceasing, and saying:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts;
heaven and earth are full of your praises.
Hosanna in the highest.

Inviting the Trinity
Father, grant that I may always turn to you in prayer for every need –
for my needs,
for the needs of your Church, and
for the needs of your world.
Jesus, grant I may always meditate on your love –
manifest within my heart,
manifest in your Church, and
manifest throughout your world.
Spirit, grant that I may always be a channel of your grace –
grace within my own thoughts and emotions,
grace within your Church, and
grace within your world.
Holy Trinity, grant that I may glorify you in all my actions –
privately in my home, and
publicly in your Church and your world.
On the Father and the Son
As long as I live and breathe the breath you have given me,
holy Father, all-powerful God,
I will acknowledge that from all eternity
you have been not only God but Father.
I will never have the folly and impiety
to set up as judge of your omnipotence and your mysteries,
to prefer my own poor thought
to what religion holds
about your infinity
or faith teaches about your eternity.
I will never assert that there was a time
when your Wisdom, your Virtue, your Word, the unbegotten God,
my Lord Jesus Christ was not with you.
May I worship you, our Father, and worship your Son with you;
may I be as your Holy Spirit would have me to be,
who proceeds from you through your only Son.
The proper witness of my faith is he who said:
‘Father, all I have is yours, and all you have is mine’
– my Lord, Jesus Christ, who is always in you,
always coming from you, always with you,
and always God.
Praise is his throughout eternity. Amen.
