Lord our God,
make these gifts holy,

Preface of the Holy Trinity: [The Mystery of the Holy Trinity]
Father, all-powerful and ever-living God,
we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks.
We joyfully proclaim our faith
in the mystery of your Godhead.
You have revealed your glory
as the glory also of your Son
and of the Holy Spirit:
three Persons equal in majesty,
undivided in splendor,
yet one Lord, one God,
ever to be adored in your everlasting glory.
And so, with all the choirs of angels in heaven
we proclaim your glory
and join in their unending hymn of praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord...

You are the sons of God, so God has given you the Spirit of his Son to form your hearts and make you cry out: Abba, Father. (Galatians 4:6)
Prayer after Communion:
Lord God,
we worship you, a Trinity of Persons, one eternal God.
May our faith and the sacrament we receive
bring us health of mind and body.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
