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 7: Created and signed in the Trinity

We were baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and our every prayer is sealed with that same sign. The Sign of the Cross traces our whole life into the Trinity, marking us as God's own from the font to the grave. We belong, body and soul, to the God who is Three. To begin each task with this holy sign is to consecrate the whole day to the indwelling God.

Most Holy Trinity, in whose name we were baptized and sealed, let us never trace the Sign of the Cross without living faith. May this sacred sign sanctify our every action, and may we belong wholly to You from this day until the day of glory. Amen.

Today's intention:

For the grace to make the Sign of the Cross with living 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.

Sign of the Cross
