To the Triune God Who Is Merciful and Gracious

PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

THE HOLY TRINITY

Year A

Invitation to Prayer:

My brothers and sisters,

to the triune God who is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness,

let us pray for the mission of the Church,

the needs of our world and the salvation of all people.

Concluding Prayer:

Merciful and gracious Father,

who showed the fullness of your love

when you gave your only Son for our salvation

and sent down the power of your Spirit,

complete within us, we pray, the work of your love,

that we who have communion in Christ

may come to share fully

the undying life he lives with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Or:

God of mercy,

who in love sent your only-begotten Son

that all may have life

and through him poured out the Spirit of adoption,

graciously hear our prayer

and strengthen our faith in your Son,

that we may be his witnesses

and live in the communion of your Spirit.

Through Christ our Lord.
