(IT CAN BE PRAYED ANYTIME IN THE DAY)

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Hymn

Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy
There is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love and purity

Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty
Oh thy works shall praise Thy name
In earth and sky and sea
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity
(Oh God in three persons
Blessed Trinity!)

DAY ONE PRAYER

(For those who have patiently endured difficulties…)

Most Holy Trinity – Father, Son, Holy Spirit – present and acting in the Church and in the depth of my being. I adore, love and thank you. And at the hands of the Virgin Mary, my Blessed Mother (whom we honour in a special way in this month), I offer, give, and consecrate myself entirely to you, in this life and for eternity.

Heavenly Father, I offer, give and consecrate myself to you as a child.

Our Lord Jesus Christ and Master, I offer, give and consecrate myself to you, as a brother and a disciple.

Holy Spirit, I offer, give and consecrate myself to you, as a “living temple” to be sanctified.

Today, I come before Your divine majesty to pray and commend all those who have patiently endured difficulties, challenges, trials, temptations, suffering, pain for the love of You. Most Holy Trinity, come to their aid both in this present life and in the world to come – eternal life (pause and add other intentions). 

Mary, Mother of the Church and my Mother, you who are in the most intimate union with the Most Holy Trinity, teach me to live in communion with the three divine Persons, so that my whole life may be a hymn of glory to the Father, to the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was, in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen (12 times).

SCRIPTURAL READING: Luke 3:21-22

Pause for a moment and reflect…
