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

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.
