The Holy Trinity is the central mystery of our faith. The feast of the Holy Trinity, which is celebrated on the Sunday after Pentecost, was established for the whole Western Church in 1134 by pope John XII. The Angelic Trisagion is said for the three days prior to Trinity Sunday.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
V. Lord, open my lips. |
In nómine Patris et Fílii et Spíritus Sancti. Amen. |
DECADES: All say the invocation, Holy is God (Sanctus Deus); afterwards, the Lord's Prayer is said as usual, with the priest (or whoever presides) answered by the people. Then, nine times whoever presides says the prayer To You, O Blessed Trinity |
|
(Tibi Laus). Each time, the people answer with the prayer Holy, Holy, ... After the last repetition, the Glory Be is said.
Holy is God! Holy and strong! Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us.
The second and third decades are said in the same way, beginning with the words: Holy is God (Sanctus Deus) . . .
Ant. God the Father unbegotten, only-begotten Son, and Holy Spirit, the Comforter: holy and undivided Trinity, with all our hearts we acknowledge you:Glory to you for ever.

Sanctus Deus, Sanctus fortis, Sanctus immortális, miserére nobis.
Ant. Te Deum Patrem ingénitum, te Fílium unigénitum, te Spíritum Sanctum Paráclitum, sanctam et indivíduam Trinitátem, toto corde et ore confitémur, laudámus, atque benedícimus: Tibi glória in saécula.
V. Benedicámus Patrem, et Fílium cum Sancto Spíritu.
Oremus.
R. Amen. |
