To the most Holy Trinity
| L |
Most Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, |
| R |
We adore and thank you
for the blessings received throughout our lives,
especially for the gift of this day. |
| L |
Blessed be the one true God,
Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. |

Most Holy Trinity,
we offer you, through the hands of Mary,
Queen of Apostles,
our thoughts, words, work and suffering of this day. |
| L |
We renew our resolve
to grow to be perfect in your love,
so that our community,
united by the love of the Father,
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
may be totally committed to the work
of the Catholic Apostolate. |
| R |
We ask you to assist our Pope, N.,
and we join with him in prayer
for the universal Church,
for our Christian brothers and sisters,
for those who profess a different faith,
for those who do not believe in you
and for all the peoples of the world. |
| L |
We entrust our community to your infinite love:
the individual members and their superiors,
the communities, regions and provinces. |
| R |
Watch over bishops, priests, sisters, brothers
and all religious families in your Church. |
| L |
Bless our relatives, friends and benefactors
and all who have asked our prayers. |
| R |
Through your infinite mercy
recall to your love those who have strayed;
and grant eternal life in your kingdom
to our deceased members and relatives
and to all the faithful departed. |

Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord,
your grace into our hearts,

was made known by the message of an Angel,
may, by his Passion and Cross,
be brought to the glory of his Resurrection.
Through the same Christ our Lord. |
