Trinity Sunday - Meditation & Propers
As soon as we have celebrated the Advent of the Holy Ghost, we celebrate in song the Feast of the Holy Trinity in the office of the following Sunday. This place is well chosen, for, immediately after the descent of this Divine Spirit, began the preaching and belief, and, through Baptism, faith and confession in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Introit: Tobias 12. 6
Blessed be the holy Trinity and undivided Unity: we will give glory to Him, because He hath shown His mercy to us. - (Ps. 8. 2). O Lord, our Lord, how wonderful is Thy Name in all the earth! V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Blessed be the holy Trinity and undivided Unity: we will give glory to Him, because He hath shown His mercy to us.
Collect:
O almighty and everlasting God, who hast granted to Thy servants, in confessing the true Faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of Majesty to adore the Unity: we beseech Thee, that by steadfastness in the same Faith, we may ever be defended against all adversity. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Gradual: Daniel 3. 55, 56
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, that beholdest the depths and sittest above the Cherubim. V. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, in the firmament of heaven, and worthy of praise for ever. Alleluia, alleluia. V. (Dan. 3. 52). Blessed art Thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and worthy to be praised for ever. Alleluia.
Offertory: Tobias 12. 6
Blessed be God the Father, and the only-begotten Son of God, and also the Holy Spirit; because He hath shown His mercy to us.
Secret:
Sanctify, we beseech Thee, O Lord, our God, by the invocation of Thy holy Name, the Sacrifice we offer, and by it make of us an everlasting offering unto Thee. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth, with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
Communion: Tobias 12. 6
We bless the God of heaven, and before all living we will praise Him; because He has shown His mercy to us.
Postcommunion:
O Lord, our God, may the receiving of this Sacrament and the acknowledging of the holy and eternal Trinity and its undivided Unity profit us unto health of mind and body.
My Daily Thought from the Following of Christ:
"The judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves." My judgments are to be feared, not to be discussed, because they are incomprehensible to human understanding.
Recessional Hymn
God Father, praise and glory Thy children bring to Thee,
Thy grace and peace to mankind Shall now forever be.
(Chorus)
O most holy Trinity, Undivided Unity;
Holy God, Mighty God, God Immortal, be adored.
And Thou, Lord co-eternal, God's sole begotten Son;
O Jesus, King anointed, Who hast Redemption won.
(Chorus)
O Holy Ghost, Creator, Thou gift of God most high;
Life, love, and holy Wisdom, Our weakness now supply.
(Chorus)
