Holy
Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, you called John De Matha to be a
liberator of those who suffered the pains of captivity. Through his
intercession, give patience and love to those who are persecuted for
their faith in Christ; bestow your liberating grace on all who are
enchained by any form of addiction; and instill a sense of purifying
purposefulness in all who serve time in correction institutions.
Holy
and Blessed Trinity, instill in
my heart and in the hearts of all who are associated with the
Trinitarian Order that love which moved John de Matha to labor for the
spiritual and physical freedom of all your sons and daughters. Instill
in us a deep compassion for the poor and the less fortunate of society,
and transform us into apostles of your kingdom of justice and peace in
our world.
We
ask this, Trinity Most Holy,
because you are at once our loving Father, our compassionate Redeemer,
and the Spirit from whom all blessings come.
Amen.

Holy
Founder, John De Matha, the loving plan of God has willed that we be
your spiritual heirs. Protect us and all members of the Trinitarian
Family. Obtain for us. the grace to be filled with your dynamic love
for God-Trinity and a deep compassion for suffering humanity.
May your example inspire us to live a personal and social life which is
rooted in the Gospel and exemplifies the love and unity of the Holy
Trinity. May your redemptive spirit animate us to imitate Christ the
Redeemer, and uphold the freedom of all people, especially those who
are marked with the hardship of the human condition. May our commitment
to the ideal of Christian love bring us, one day, to enjoy with you the
beatific vision of God-Trinity.
We make this prayer through Christ, our Lord.
