Novena to the Most Holy Trinity

Opening prayer:

Most Holy Trinity, one God in three Persons, we adore You with all the powers of our soul. Father who creates us, Son who redeems us, Spirit who sanctifies us, we bow before the abyss of Your love. Draw us into the communion that You are. Amen.

Read the meditation and offer the intention of the day.

Day 1: The mystery of one God in three Persons

We worship one God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — not three gods, but a single divine nature in three distinct Persons. This mystery surpasses our minds, yet Christ revealed it that we might share His own life and be drawn into the communion of the Godhead. Faith bows where reason cannot reach, adoring the One who dwells in unapproachable light. To believe this truth is already to begin the worship of the saints in heaven.

Most Holy Trinity, one God in three Persons, we adore the mystery our minds can never fathom. Grant us the humble faith to believe what Christ revealed, and draw us ever deeper into the communion of Your divine life, until we behold You face to face. Amen.

Today's intention:

For the grace to believe and adore the mystery of the Trinity with humble faith.

Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis,

sanctificétur nomen tuum.

Advéniat regnum tuum.

Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie,

et dimítte nobis débita nostra,

sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris.

Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem,

sed líbera nos a malo.

Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.

Benedícta tu in muliéribus,

et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.

Sancta María, Mater Dei,

ora pro nobis peccatóribus,

nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.

Amen.

Glory Be

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.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,

et in sǽcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Closing prayer:

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. Most Holy Trinity, abide in us as in a living temple, and let our whole life become an offering of praise. Make us at last partakers of Your eternal blessedness. Amen.
