Day 217: Resting With the Trinity

12m

As we continue focusing our decades of the Rosary on the persons we’re praying to, Fr. Mark-Mary shares some insight on how to pray to the Trinity. We’re invited to sit at the table with the Trinity, offer them praise and adoration, or simply share in their exchange of love. Our meditation is guided by a quote from St. Elizabeth of the Trinity, whose longing to dwell wholly in God is echoed in today’s reflection. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Ascension and the Descent of the Holy Spirit, and we will be praying two decades of the Rosary.

Speaker 7 Today we'll be praying with the second and the third glorious mysteries: the ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.

Speaker 3 All right, so today we are going to be focusing on praying

Speaker 3 before the Most Holy Trinity.

Speaker 11 And I'm certainly open to you taking this in whatever direction you have found helpful.

Speaker 4 I shared last time about the Holy Trinity being this holy exchange of love

Speaker 7 and that we are called, that we are destined to share in this exchange of love between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for all eternity.

Speaker 9 Perhaps you're moved to, if you will, sit at the table of the most holy Trinity

Speaker 12 to share in, to be part in this exchange of love that we enter into through baptism

Speaker 11 and incorporation into Christ.

Speaker 14 Perhaps you're moved

Speaker 13 as I am to just like praise and adoration before

Speaker 12 the transcendent almighty God,

Speaker 12 who is Father, Son, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Speaker 12 If you will, raise your hands, your heart, your mind, and adoration, praise

Speaker 10 of God

Speaker 4 who is love, and God who is of himself worthy of worship.

Speaker 12 Or perhaps you'd like to take your prompting of prayer. from this prayer by Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity, Carmelite saint,

Speaker 12 whose prayer is quoted in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 260, O my God,

Speaker 3 Trinity, whom I adore,

Speaker 3 help me to forget myself entirely,

Speaker 12 so to establish myself in you,

Speaker 15 unmovable and peaceful,

Speaker 15 as if my soul were already in eternity.

Speaker 3 May nothing be able to trouble my peace or make me leave you, O my unchanging God.

Speaker 9 But may each minute bring me more deeply into your mystery.

Speaker 12 Grant my soul peace.

Speaker 3 Make it your heaven, your beloved dwelling, and the place of your rest.

Speaker 4 May I never abandon you there, but may I be there whole and entire, completely vigilant in my faith, entirely adoring, and wholly given over to your creative action.

Speaker 12 And now let us pray.

Speaker 7 The second glorious mystery is the ascension.

Speaker 2 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 12 Amen. The second glorious mystery is the ascension.
