Prayer to the Holy Trinity

Glory be to the Father,
Who by His almighty power and love created me,
making me in the image and likeness of God.

Glory be to the Son,
Who by His Precious Blood delivered me from hell,
and opened for me the gates of heaven.

Glory be to the Holy Spirit,
Who has sanctified me in the sacrament of Baptism,
and continues to sanctify me
by the graces I receive daily from His bounty.

Glory be to the Three adorable Persons of the Holy Trinity,
now and forever.

Amen.

History of Prayer to the Holy Trinity

The Prayer to the Holy Trinity is a Catholic prayer that dates back to the early Church.

The prayer is a statement of faith in the Triune God – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit – and expresses gratitude for the salvific work of the Father through the Son, with the help of the Holy Spirit.

The Prayer to the Holy Trinity is often associated with Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity, a French Carmelite nun and mystic who had a deep devotion to the Holy Trinity and frequently invoked the three persons of the Godhead in her prayers.

The prayer reads: “Oh, my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me forget myself entirely so to establish myself in You, unmovable and peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity.”

The Prayer to the Holy Trinity is a powerful way to express devotion to God and to surrender oneself totally to His divine will. It acknowledges the mystery of the Trinity and invites believers to enter more deeply into the life of the Triune God through prayer and contemplation.

Today, the Prayer to the Holy Trinity continues to be a beloved part of Catholic devotional life, offering a way for believers to deepen their relationship with God and to express their faith in the mystery of the Holy Trinity.
