A THANKSGIVING FOR REDEMPTION

(A prayer in responsory form to add to your prayers for Trinity Season)


V. Let us bless the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost;

R. Let us praise and exalt him for ever.

O give thanks unto the lord, for he is gracious;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

Who hath loved us from all eternity;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

And remembered us when we were in trouble;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

And was incarnate by the Holy ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

Who by his Cross and Passion hath redeemed the world;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

And hath washed us from our sins in his own Blood;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

Who on the third day rose from the dead;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

And hath given us the victory;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

Who ascended up on high;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

And opened wide for us the everlasting doors;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

Who sitteth on the right hand of God;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

And ever liveth to make intercession for us;

For his mercy endureth for ever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

For the gift of his Spirit,

Blessed be Christ.

For the Catholic Church,

Blessed be Christ.

For the means of grace,

Blessed be Christ.

For the hope of glory,

Blessed be Christ.

For the triumphs of his Gospel,

Blessed be Christ.

For the lives of his saints,

Blessed be Christ.

In joy and in sorrow,

Blessed be Christ.

In life and in death,

Blessed be Christ.

Now and unto the end of the ages,

Blessed be Christ.

Blessing and honour and thanksgiving and praise more than we can utter, more than we can conceive, be unto thee, O holy and glorious Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, by all angels, all men, and all creatures, for ever and ever. Amen.
