A Prayer for the Feast of the Holy Trinity

June 3, 2012

Actually it’s not a prayer just for today – it’s one to pray every day. I read a book by Fr. Oscar Lukefahr titled “We Live – To Know, Love, and Serve God”. In it, he gives a 3 minute nighttime prayer “formula” so to speak and I’ve been praying this prayer for two years now. It has been an easy prayer to remember and one that has brought me much peace. Here’s what you do:

“Begin the first minute by adoring Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the Sign of the Cross and Glory Be. Then, think about the greatest blessing you’ve received in the past twenty-four hours, and thank God the Father for it. In the second minute, turn to Jesus, remember your most serious sin of the past twenty-four hours, and ask Jesus to forgive you. In the third, look ahead to the greatest challenge facing you in the next twenty-four hours and ask the Holy Spirit to help you face that challenge.” (excerpted from “We Live” by Fr. Oscar Lukefahr, CM)

A very simple but very effective prayer this is! So, start today by praying this prayer and see how it helps you grow in your relationship with the Blessed Trinity. Happy Feast Day!
