My God, Trinity That I Adore

My God, Trinity whom I adore, help me to forget myself entirely and to be fixed in you, still and tranquil as if my soul were already in eternity. May nothing disturb my peace or draw me away from you, my immutable One; but may every moment immerse me ever deeper into the depths of your mystery.

 Calm my soul, make it your heaven, your beloved home, and your resting place. May I never abandon you, but be present to you, with living faith, immersed in adoration, devoutly abandoned to your creative action.

Jesus, my beloved, crucified for love, I would like to cover you with glory, I would like to love you to the point of death, but I feel my powerlessness and ask you to clothe me in yourself, to identify my soul with all the movements of your soul, to submerge me, to invade me, to replace me, so that my life may be a reflection of your life. Come to me as Adorer, as Repairer, as Savior.

Eternal Word, Word of my God, Christ the Lord, I want to spend my life listening to you, and in the nights of the spirit and in the emptiness I want to always gaze upon you and stand under your great light.

O my beloved star, captivate me so that I can never again escape your radiance.

Burning fire, Spirit of love, come into me and make my soul an incarnation of the Word.

And you, O Father, bend over your poor, little creature, cover her with your shadow!

Oh my “Three”, my All, my Bliss, Infinite Solitude, Immensity in which I lose myself and abandon myself to you.

 Bury yourself in me so that I may bury myself in you, waiting to be able to contemplate in your light the abyss of your greatness.

(Blessed Sister Elizabeth of the Most Holy Trinity)

Holy Trinity

 My sister once tried to unravel the mystery of the Holy Trinity. The fact that there are three Persons in one God. She told me: "They are united by love." And since God is love, surely his unity consists in that mutual love that also encompasses humanity. And if we want to resemble this Triune God, we will necessarily have to love our brothers and sisters, our neighbors. As Pope Francis said one day, we must create unity in our parishes; we must create community. And as my sister would surely say, we must be united by this fraternal love. As the Franciscans would say, we must have fraternity. Thus, united in love, we will be able to harbor the Holy Trinity in our hearts and enter into communion with the God of love, remaining in his love and in his saving grace. Personally, I would like this Triune God, as the priest of my parish explained about Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity, to leave my heart open to God, just as she did, so that he may dwell there and never leave.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
