Oh Trinity, eternal, one God!
You Godhead,
One being and three persons,
Are one vine with three branches –
If I may be permitted to make such a comparison.
You made us in your image and likeness so that,
with our three powers in one soul,
we might image your trinity
and your unity.
And as we image,
so we find union.
Through our memory
we may image and be united with the Father,
to whom is attributed power.
Through our understanding
we may image and be united with the Son,
whom is attributed wisdom.
Through our will
we may image and be united with the Holy Spirit,
to whom is attributed mercy,
and who is the love
of the Father and the Son.
(Fra Katarina av Siena, bønn nr 4)
O Triune Deity
as we offer you our worship,
visit us, we pray, and towards
the goal of our desire,
guide us along your paths:
lead us to the radiance
in which you dwell.
(Fra Thomas Aquinas, Sacra Solemniis)
