In the sight of the one, both God and Man who suffered for me,
I confess the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit who fills me full
of heartfelt joy. So shall it be in heaven, a place without end to all
who will come there. For the Trinity is God. God is the Trinity. The
Trinity is our Maker and keeper, the Trinity is our everlasting lover,
the source of eternal joy and bliss; all because of our Lord Jesus
Christ and joined in union with him. For where Jesus appears, God
in his fullness is always revealed to our sight. Praise to the Lord God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for this wonder.^150

I pray for myself and for those dear to me......
Courteous Lord, as much-loved servants and friends, you have
called us to a great feast, filling our lives with joy and laughter. You
continually gladden and comfort us, naturally and with courtesy, by a
marvellous melody of endless love. May we learn to love you and see
your courtesy, and so be willing to serve you all our life. Amen.^151
I pray for my community and neighbours......
Lord, you not only attend to noble and great matters, but also to
the small, the low and the simple. And so in your purpose both small
and great things shall be well. I pray for your blessing on the small
things of this day...... in Jesus’ name. Amen.^152
