Another prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

The Almighty and Life-giving Holy Trinity, and the Light-originating one, who brought, and provided, and supported, every other worldly creature for one goodness from those who do not exist, like your other unspeakable blessings on the earthly race, and granted repentance to us for the sake of carnal infirmity until death! Do not leave us, the accursed, to die in our evil deeds, to be a laughing stock below the evildoer and the envious and the destroyer. See, O Merciful One, how much there is slander and enmity against us, as well as our passion, weakness, and negligence. But inexhaustible

Do Thy goodness upon us, we pray, every day and hour that angers Thy honest and life-giving commandments by crime. And all that we have sinned in our deeds, or verbs, or in thoughts until now, forgive and forgive. Make us worthy to end our lives in repentance and tenderness and observance of Your holy commandments. If you have been deceived by sweetness, having sinned in manifold ways, or by vile lusts, unhelpful and harmful, having been deceived by the sender; even though he was moved by wordless anger and rage, who has insulted our brother; We pledge ourselves in the language of inevitable and obstinate and strong networks; if our feelings and all, willy-nilly or unwillingly, knowingly or unknowingly, from admiration or teaching we crawl madly; if evil thoughts and vain defile the conscience; If we have sinned in any other way, greatly tormented by enterprise and custom, forgive us and forgive us all, O All-Bountiful, Most Blessed and Much-Merciful, and grant us other courage and strength to do Your will, good and pleasing and perfect, and nightly and dark evil will be diminished by light-like repentance, and as in the days of walking gracefully and purified, we will show ourselves unworthy of Thy love for mankind, praising Thee and magnifying Him forever. Amen.

Celebration on the 49th day after Easter, on Sunday

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Lord, cleanse our sins;

Master, forgive our iniquities;

Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Prayer to God the Father

Almighty Master, all-wise and all-good Lord,

the luminous Son, the Pre-Eternal Parent, and Your Life-giving Spirit

eternal and ever-present to the Self-Maker,

His majesty is innumerable, his glory unspeakable, and his mercy immeasurable,

We thank You, for You called us from non-existence and You honored us with Your precious image,

for Thou hast granted to us, unworthy, not only to know and love Thee,

but it is the sweetest thing to eat, and to call Thee my Father.

Thou didst not forsake us in the midst of sin and the shadow of death, but Thou didst favor Thy Only Begotten Son,

In whom the worlds were created, send to our earth for the sake of salvation,

that through His incarnation and the terrible suffering of the torment of the devil and mortal aphids we will be freed.

Having been begged by His Cross, You sent down Your Most Holy Spirit

on His chosen disciples and apostles, yea, by the power of their God-inspired preaching,

will illuminate the whole world with the imperishable light of the Gospel of Christ.

just as You created us for Thy goodness alone, You redeemed us for Thy goodness alone,

Thus also save us according to Thy one unconditional mercy:

from our deeds below the trace of salvation imams,

but the hope of righteous vengeance and separation from Thy bright face:

If even one idle verb will be exacted on the day of Judgment and testing,

about our innumerable iniquities, even those who have sinned before You,

poor, imams give an answer;

For this reason, we have greatly despaired of justification from our deeds, to Yours alone,

every mind and every word that surpasses, let us take refuge in the goodness that is

aki solid base Having hope, we pray to Thee: cleanse those who have sinned, O Lord!

Lawless people, forgive me, Master!

With anger You, be reconciled, Long-suffering!

And save the rest of our mind, conscience and heart from worldly defilements, deliver

and save us from the multi-rebellious storm of passions and falls,

free and involuntary, known and unknown,

and lead into a quiet haven of faith, love and the hope of eternal life. Remember us in Your mercy, Lord,

Grant us all the petitions that lead to salvation, and especially a pure and sinless life;

grant us to love You, and to fear with all our hearts, and to do Your holy will in everything,

through the prayers of our Most Pure Lady Theotokos and all Your saints,

for You are a Good and Lover of Mankind, and we send glory and thanksgiving and worship to You,

with Your Only Begotten Son, and with Your Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit,

now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer to God the Son

Only begotten Son and Word of God,

who deigned for our salvation to be incarnate and to endure death, now

and with Thy Most Pure Flesh, sitting in heaven on the Throne with the Father,

and rule the whole world, do not forget us with Your mercy,

down to earth and tempted by many misfortunes and sorrows,

who are very unclean and unworthy of us, but in You,

We believe in our Savior and Lord and there is no other Intercessor and we have no hope of salvation.

How much torment of Your soul and Body is required,

to satisfy the eternal righteousness of Thy Father for our sins,

and how You even descended from the Cross to hell with Your most pure soul,

May the power and torment of hell free us:

Remembering this, let us be careful from passions and sins, which were the cause of Your fierce suffering and death,

and let us love truth and virtue, which is most pleasant for You to have in us.

but our enemy is strong and cunning, like a roaring lion who walks around, looking for someone to devour:

Do not forsake us with Your all-powerful help, and be with us, protecting and covering,

instructing and strengthening, delighting and cheering our spirit.

temporary and eternal, we commit to You, our Master, Redeemer and Lord,

praying from the depths of my soul, yes, in the image of fate,

make us pass comfortably through the gloomy life of this earthly vale,

and Your God-red palace has been reached, which You promised to prepare for everyone,

believers in your name, and to Your subsequent Divine feet. Amen.

Prayer to God the Holy Spirit

Heavenly King, All-merciful Comforter, Soul of Truth,

come from the Father eternally and rest in the Son,

unenvious Source of Divine gifts, dividing them into each other,

as you wish, by Him we too are unworthy and sanctified and are designated on the day of our baptism!

may we be prepared for the dwelling of the Most Holy Trinity.

but heal me with Your all-healing anointing.

may he continually proclaim to us what should be done and what should be discarded, correct and renew the heart,

Let not the rest of the day and night exude evil thoughts and inappropriate desires,

tame the flesh and extinguish the flame of passions with Your dewy breath,

It is through this that the precious image of God is darkened in us.

Give us the spirit of love and patience, the spirit of meekness and humility, the spirit of purity and truth,

Yes, having corrected our weakened hearts and knees, we unlaxly flow along the path of the commandments of the saints, and so,

by avoiding all sin and fulfilling all righteousness, we will be deemed worthy to have a peaceful and shameless end,

bring you into Heavenly Jerusalem and there worship You, together with the Father and the Son,

singing forever and ever: Holy Trinity, glory to Thee!

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

The Most Holy Trinity, consubstantial Power, the Wine of all good things,

that we will reward You for everything that You have rewarded us sinners and unworthy before,

before you came into the world, for everything that you have repaid us with every day,

and what you have prepared for all of us in the world to come!

but more than business, storing and keeping the commandments Yours:

But we, we are aware of our passion and evil custom,

We are cast down into countless sins and iniquities from our youth.

but below Thy Most Holy Name speak that which is sufficient for us, even if You Yourself had not deigned,

for our joy, to proclaim that we love the pure and righteous,

and sinners who repent are merciful and more kindly accepted.

upon us, many sinners, and accept our good will instead of good deeds;

and give us the spirit of true repentance, so that we may hate all sin,

in purity and truth, we will live until the end of our days, doing Your most holy will

and Your sweetest and most magnificent name is glorified by pure thoughts and good deeds.

Prayer to the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit

“God loves the Trinity” - probably everyone has heard this expression, but not everyone knows that underneath it lies the veneration of the Holy Trinity, whose prayer expresses the love of believers for the Triune God. IN Holy Scripture As you know, the Trinity manifests itself only in the New Testament - during the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordanian waters, God the Father proclaimed from heaven “This is My Beloved Son, listen to Him,” and God the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descended on Jesus, thereby symbolizing the blessing to a sermon given from above. Thus, all those present, starting with John the Baptist and ending with the Jews who came to listen to his sermon, could observe the simultaneous appearance of the Holy Trinity, the text of the akathist of which is given below.

The text of the akathist to the Most Holy Trinity, like all prayers addressed to Her, contains a recurring dogma, for the preservation and affirmation of which many spears were broken in due time. Today, when we hear the words “Consubstantial and Indivisible,” we do not always try to understand their meaning, but at the dawn of Christianity they became a stumbling block between the Arians and Christians. The followers of Arius argued that Jesus Christ is not God, but only the highest Creation of God the Father. This diminished the Person of Jesus, and for two centuries Christian theologians defended the belief that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three coequal Persons who are hypostases of one God. The akathist to the Holy Trinity says that the final victory over heresy took place in 451, at the Council of Chalcedon.

Akathist to the Holy Trinity - prayer to the All-Good God

Of course, you can read the akathist to the Holy Trinity, turning mentally to all three Persons, or to one of them. Prayer to God is an integral part of life Orthodox Christian Therefore, we must pray to Him daily morning and evening, reading the corresponding prayer rules.

And, although the Akathist to the Life-Giving Trinity is not included in the list obligatory prayers about health, many believers try to read it as a sign of love and deep veneration for all the Persons of the Holy Trinity. The holiday in honor of the Trinity is celebrated every year on the fiftieth day after Easter.

Text of the prayer to the Most Holy Life-Giving Trinity

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.

Lord have mercy. (Thrice) Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Read the text of the prayer to the Holy Trinity for the fulfillment of desires

To the Most Holy Trinity, the Consubstantial Power, all the good Wines that we will repay You for everything that You have repaid us, sinners and unworthy, before you came into the world, for everything that You have repaid us every day and that You have prepared for all of us in the world to come ? It is fitting, then, for so much good deeds and generosity, to thank Thee not just in words, but more than in deeds, in keeping and fulfilling Thy commandments; We, heedless of our passion and evil custom, cast ourselves into countless sins and iniquities from our youth. For this reason, as if we were unclean and defiled, we should not just appear before Thy three-bright face without cold, but below Thy Most Holy Name, speak to us, even if You Yourself had deigned, for our joy, to proclaim that the pure and righteous are loving, and sinners who repent are merciful and kindly accept. Look down, O Divine Trinity, from the height of Your Holy Glory upon us, many sinners, and accept our good will, instead of good deeds, and give us the spirit of true repentance, so that, having hated every sin, we may live in purity and truth until the end of our days, doing Your most holy will and glorifying Your sweetest and most magnificent name with pure thoughts and good deeds. Amen.

Listen to the video akathist to the Holy Trinity

Orthodox text of the akathist to the Holy Trinity

Eternal King of the ages and Lord, of all creation, visible and invisible, to the Creator, Himself, in the Trinity of Holy Glorified God, every knee bows to those in heaven, on earth and under the earth: in the same way, we, too, for having been baptized in Thy Trisagion, even though we are unworthy, we dare to offer this praise to Thee singing: But You, as our Creator, Provider and Judge, listen to the voice of Your servant, and do not leave Your mercy from us, so that from the depths of our souls we cry to You: Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, Lord our God, have mercy on us, Thy fallen creation , for the sake of Thy Holy One!

The Archangels and Angels, Principalities and Powers, Thrones and Dominions, standing before the very Throne of Thy Glory, are not sufficient to utter the greatness of Thy perfections: but the many-eyed Cherubim and the six-crilated Seraphim, covering their faces, cry out to each other with awe and love: Holy, Holy, holy is the Lord of hosts! For we, who are the dust and ashes of us, if it is more convenient to love silence: but, lest so much bounty was poured out on us in creation and redemption, we will appear unmemorable and ungrateful, imitating the heavenly praise, with faith and love we cry out: Holy, Holy, Holy Thou art, Lord our God, inscrutable of the perfections of the Heights and unsearchable of the mysteries of the Abyss! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who art everywhere and fill all things, One and the same yesterday, today and forever! Holy art thou, O Lord our God, who is all mighty, who call things that do not exist as if they exist, and even bring them down to hell and still allow them! Holy are you, Lord our God, test the hearts and wombs of men, count the stars and name them all! Holy art Thou, Lord our God, Whose all paths are true and all destinies are justified and desired! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who transfers the sins of the fathers onto the children, and has mercy and reward throughout all generations! Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, have mercy on us, Thy fallen creation, for the sake of Thy Holy One!

Seeing Thee on the Throne, high and exalted, Isaiah said: O accursed man, like a man of unclean lips, I have seen the Lord of Hosts before my eyes! Whenever the burning coal is carried from the Angel, I will touch it with my mouth, purely praising You, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the One God. For, O Most Holy Trinity, the fire of Thy Divinity has fallen upon thorns and our many iniquities, so that with a pure heart we cry out to Thee: Alleluia!

The great prophet Moses sought to understand the unreasonable mind, saying: Show me Thy face, that I may see Thee with understanding! But you come to him: you will see My behind, but My face will not appear to you: for a man will not see My face and live. But to us, even if we are unworthy, You have deigned to reveal Yourself in the person of Your Only Begotten Son: with the same gratitude we cry: Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, Lord our God, the flame-burning love of the Seraphim, and the luminous wisdom of the Cherubim! Holy art thou, Lord our God, the all-true Lord of the Heavenly Thrones and the most worldly Dominions! Holy art thou, Lord our God, the invincible Fortress of the Highest Powers and the almighty Ruler of the Mountain Powers! Holy art thou, Lord our God, the all-joyful gospel of the Archangels and the unceasing sermon of the Angels! Holy art thou, O Lord our God, of the rational Beginnings, the Supreme All-Start, and of all others heavenly ranks sovereign to the ruler; Holy art Thou, Lord our God, who alone has immortality and lives in the Unapproachable Light, and speaks face to face with Thy chosen ones, as with others! Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, have mercy on us, Thy fallen creation, for the sake of Thy holy one!

By the power of Your ineffable power You contain everything, With the Word of Your unsearchable Wisdom You build everything, By the Spirit of Your mouth You live and delight everything, O Trisun Almighty! Thou hast measured the heavens with a hand and the earth with a span, carrying and feeding all creation, calling upon everything by name, and the mighty one can hide the mighty right hand and Thy gaze: for this reason, with all the powers above and below, with falling emotion, we call Thee: Alleluia!

Have every creature work according to Thy commandment, everywhere showing traces of Your Providence and innumerable perfections: also Thy invisible and ever-present Power and Divinity, conceived by creatures, seeing, with wonder and joy we call: Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, Lord our God, sovereign Creator of the visible and invisible, and loving to the Builder of the present and the future! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who composed creation from the four elements and crowned the circle of summer with four seasons! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who commanded the sun to shine during the days, and the moon and stars to illuminate the night! Holy are you, Lord our God, driving away the winds from treasures, covering the sky with clouds, and sending rain and dew to cool the heat! Holy art thou, Lord our God, girdle the hills with joy and the valleys with gladness, decorate the villages and crown the fields with trees! Holy art Thou, Lord our God, send food to the chick of the corvids, water all the wild animals, and place Your bounty on all Your deeds! Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, have mercy on us, Thy fallen creation, for the sake of Thy holy one!

Having a storm inside of soul-destroying heresies, the second Judas, the insane Arius, denied You the Son of God, the only One of the Divine Trinity to be; We also say: but the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one Divinity, equal in power, co-essential majesty, with our hearts and lips we confess, and as with the Trisolar light in the baptismal font of illumination, the Father and the Son , and we worship the Holy Spirit, the One God, calling: Alleluia!

Hearing the shepherd and teacher of the Holy Church, Arius, like a fierce beast, invading the verbal flock of Christ, and rapt the sheep from the true confession of the Orthodox faith, convening in Nicaea at the council, God, and not a creature, confessed Christ, and is equal to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, honoring , shouting loudly: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Soul, the One True God, and not three gods! Holy art thou, Lord our God, uncreated Father, uncreated Son, uncreated Holy Soul, One together uncreated, and not three uncreated individuals! Holy art thou, Lord our God, the Father who gives birth to the Son from all eternity, the Son who is born without flight from the Father, the Holy Spirit who comes from Him from all eternity, but without being born! Holy art thou, Lord our God, the Father, who called us from nothingness, the Son, who redeemed us who fell with His Cross, the Holy Spirit, sanctifying and life-giving us all with His grace! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who was well-willed to establish in our spirit, soul and body a three-part tabernacle for His dwelling, and who did not allow it to be destroyed in us by sin! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who has placed the sign of His Trinitarian Creature in all the works of His hands, in the visible and invisible world! Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, have mercy on us, Thy fallen creation, for the sake of Thy holy one!

The Pre-Eternal and Omnipotent Trinity, having created us in Your image and likeness, You commanded us to do what is pleasing before You: but we, the wretched ones, have loved our evil will, rejected the vows of baptism, and darkened Your image; Now we again come running to You and pray, grant us Your grace, snatch us from the hand of the enemy, visible and invisible, and save us, in the image of our destinies, and forever and ever we call to You: Alleluia!

Seeing the mind that surpasses Your perfection and the ineffable good deeds to the poor sons of Adamlim (in You, the Triune God, he truly believes, the dead in spirit are quickened, the defiled by conscience are cleansed, the lost are saved), with a grateful mind, a grateful heart, grateful lips, created from You, bend the knee, We say: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, O Lord our God, who in Thy Trinitarian Council set to create man, and breathed into his body, taken from the dust, the breath of life from Thy lips! Holy art Thou, Lord our God, in Thy image and likeness in the person of Adam honor us all, and make heaven the heirs of sweetness! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who by reason has exalted us above all that is visible, and subjugated all creation under our nose! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who has given us the tree of life for food and enriched us with the gift of immortality! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who did not abandon those who disobeyed the commandment of our forefathers after the fall, but who infused Eden directly with the hope of salvation! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who brought us from our mother’s womb and, by the grace of the Gospel, sanctified us at birth! Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, have mercy on us, Thy fallen creation, for the sake of Thy Holy One!

The preacher of righteousness and zealot of Thy holy name, Elijah the venerable, was called by the Angel who stood in Mount Horeb: but the spirit was strong, he overthrew mountains, he was a great coward and a scorching fire, but not in this form of Thee, and in the fire there was a thin voice of cold, and there is the Lord; having covered your face with mantle, you cried out with joy and fear: Alleluia!

Thou hast shone forth to enlighten the whole world with the radiance of Thy Triple-Bright Divinity, Thou hast driven away all idolatrous delusions, O Trinitarian God and Lord; You have brought the entire human race from the long darkness of paganism into the wonderful light of the Gospel, and through illumination, we glorify Your all-powerful Providence for us, calling: Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O Lord our God, who completely consumed the creation corrupted by sin with the flood waters and renewed it in the face of Noah the whole human race! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who excommunicated the father of believers Abraham from confusion of tongue and founded the true Church in his descendants! Holy art Thou, Lord our God, who brought forth His people from Egypt, fed them with manna in the desert and led them into a land boiling with honey and milk! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who raised up David, who filled the prophets with His Spirit and preserved the faith in the promised Redeemer among Israel! Holy art thou, O Lord our God, who punished His people for their sins in the captivity of Babylon and, after His death, again commanded Jerusalem to be rewarded! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who showed the Maccabees in the faith and tradition of their fathers unshakable to death, and kept the Church under the law, like a bride, until the coming of the beloved Bridegroom! Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, have mercy on us, Thy fallen creation, for the sake of Thy Holy One!

Although to show the greatness of Thy love and mercy to the fallen human race, when the end of summer came, Thou didst send Thy Only Begotten Son, born of a Woman, who is under the law, so that He may redeem the lawful, Who, having lived on earth as a man and redeemed us with His Cross, Having ascended into heaven, from nowhere, fulfilling the promise, sent down His Most Holy Spirit to us, so that we all call: Alleluia!

Thou didst show a truly wondrous and new miracle, wondrous in the highest, O Lord, when, after the sending of the Most Holy Spirit upon the chosen disciples and apostles, Thou didst bring them forth to preach to the whole world, that they might proclaim the great name of the Most Holy Trinity and captivate all tongues into the obedience of faith: by the same token, Marveling at the power and effect of their God-inspired words, we joyfully call: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, O Lord our God, who hath chosen the weak, the weak, and the violent of the world, that they may put to shame the strong, the glorious, and the wise! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who has inspired countless hosts of martyrs, so that through the darkness of torment and death they may seal the truth of the Gospel and the power of the grace of Christ! Holy art thou, Lord our God, who bowed the heart of Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine with the sign of the Cross, and thus put an end to the fierce persecution of Christians! Holy art thou, Lord our God, Father of the seventh Ecumenical Councils of the God-bearing Ones, like the seventh pillars, having protected the Church and made it impregnable with heretical unrest! Holy art thou, Lord our God, God-wise teacher and great ascetic of piety, like the bright stars in the firmament of the Church, granting to shine! Holy art thou, Lord our God, and the ruler of the Russian land, Vladimir, to the light of the true faith, and thus freed our entire country from the delusion of polytheism! Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, have mercy on us, Thy fallen creation, for the sake of Thy Holy One!

It is strange and wonderful when Abraham saw Thee at the oak of Mamre in the form of three men, as if speaking to one, saying: Lord, if I have found grace before Thee, do not diminish Thy servant! Three therefore, in the Three Persons who appeared to him, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the One God in being, bow down to the ground, calling: Alleluia!

Thou art all, everywhere and always, not just by the power of Thy innumerable power, but also by the richness of Thy all-effective providence for all Thy creation: for us, as Thy Son said, all the chief powers have been deciphered from Thee, so that not one of them may fall without Thy will. : Moreover, trusting in Thy Providence, we call with boldness and love: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, who has pleased the whole human race to be divided into tribes and languages, and has indicated to each their place and time of residence! Holy art thou, O Lord our God, through whom kings reign and the mighty write the truth, keeping thy chosen ones as the apple of the eye! Holy art thou, Lord our God, from the Unworthy comes all wisdom and understanding, all strength and strength, all health and beauty! Holy art thou, O Lord our God, who bring and take away battles, who crown the right weapon with victory, and predestine the wrong one to destruction in the midst of victories! Holy art Thou, Lord our God, give signs in heaven and on earth, send fire, plague and famine upon people, so that they may not completely stray from Your ways! Holy art Thou, Lord our God, lift up the humble from the earth, so that He may place His people as princes, and cast down the proud, for there is no place for them! Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord our God, have mercy on us, Thy fallen creation, for the sake of Thy Holy One!

Every nature, high and low, unceasingly glorifies Thee, the eternal Creator and God: in heaven alone, Holy, Holy, Holy, they cry day and night, and the squads lay their crowns at the footstool of Thy feet: on earth we are with all creation, as adorned with the image of Your ever-present glory, we pray to You and from You great and rich mercy with tea, calling: Alleluia!

The branches of many things, even though they labor a lot in thought in testing, about the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, but cannot understand how God is One by nature, in Three perfect Persons: we believe exactly this and confess, as we do not test, and innumerable good deeds to Knowing each of the Three Divine Persons well, we call with faith and thanksgiving: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, O Lord our God, by Thy righteous judgment we are all brought into the land from which we were not taken, to return, and again on the day of resurrection to rise from it!

Prayer to the Holy Trinity, creation of Mark the monk

“The Almighty and Life-Giving Holy Trinity and the Beginning of Light, all creation, that which is in this world and above the world, by one goodness brought forth from non-existence and provides for it, and preserves it, and, in addition to Your other ineffable benefits to the earthly race, repentance until who gave us death for the sake of the weakness of the flesh! Do not leave us, unfortunate ones, to die in our evil deeds, and let us not be a laughing stock to the leader of evil, and the envious, and the destroyer; for You see, O Merciful One, how strong are his intrigues and enmity against us, and what is our passion, and weakness, and negligence. But perform Your unfailing good deeds on us, we pray, who anger You every day and hour by violating Your sacred and life-giving commandments. So, all our sins, in all our past life and until this hour, in deeds, or words, or thoughts, let go and forgive. Make us worthy to finish the rest of our lives in repentance, contrition, and observance of Your holy commandments. If we, seduced by pleasures, have sinned in many ways, or spent time tempted by vile desires, useless and harmful; if, driven by anger and unreasonable rage, they insulted any of our brothers, or because of our tongue they were entangled in inevitable, wrong and strong nets; if any of our feelings, or all of them, voluntarily or involuntarily, in knowledge or ignorance, in infatuation or deliberately stumbled madly; if the conscience has been defiled by evil and vain thoughts; or if we have sinned in any other way, forced by an inclination and habit of evil, forgive us and forgive us everything, O All-Bounteous, Most-Good and Much-Merciful, and grant us for the future courage and strength to do Your will, good, and pleasing, and perfect, so that we, the unworthy, may appear purified from the nightly and gloomy evil with light-like repentance and, as we act well during the day, appear purified to Your love for mankind, praising You and magnifying You forever. Amen."

According to Christian teaching, the Holy Trinity is God, one in essence, but threefold in persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Trinity is not united and inseparable. There is no gap between her faces, nothing inserted, no section or division. The Divine Trinity is absolute unity. Three Persons have: one will (desire and expression of the will), one power and one action. The Trinity and at the same time the unity of the Holy Trinity are incomprehensible to the human mind.

According to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Symbol of faith, which fixed the dogma of the Holy Trinity:

God the Father is not born from anyone and does not come from anyone;

God the Son is eternally born of God the Father;

God the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from God the Father.

Despite the fact that the dogma of the Holy Trinity was finally established only at the IV Ecumenical Council in 451, Christians have always been confident that God is one in essence, but trinitarian in persons. The very term “Trinity” was unknown to the first Christians. It was introduced into the lexicon in the second century AD by St. Theophilus of Antioch: “The three days that were before the creation of the luminaries are images of the Trinity, God and His Word and His Wisdom.”

The dogma of the Holy Trinity developed gradually under the influence of numerous heresies, at the center of which was the question of the Divinity of the Savior. Some heretics represented the Trinity only as a Unit, dissolving the Persons of the Trinity in a single Divine Nature (monarchians). Others, on the contrary, destroyed the natural unity of the Holy Trinity and reduced It to three unequal beings (Arians). Still others - Jews and Greeks - completely rejected Christ as the Son of God.

Over time, heresies began to attract more and more supporters, and the Arian teaching, which was based on the idea of ​​God the Son, as the first creation of God the Father, and by the beginning of the 4th century, threatened the very existence of the Christian religion, for in its further conclusions it led to the destruction of its main dogma - the dogma of atonement.

To allow everyone controversial issues The clergy convened an Ecumenical Council - the first open meeting of bishops from all countries. Its results were not only the condemnation of Arianism, but also the introduction of a new term, asserting that the Son is the same God in essence as the Father - “consubstantial” (ομοούσιος) as opposed to the Aryan expression “from non-existent”. From that moment on, the idea that God the Father and God the Son are one essence became generally accepted.

In what cases are prayers to the Holy Trinity read?

People turn to the Holy Trinity for help when they want to follow the right path or cope with difficulties. Praying in difficult moments for help in strengthening spirit and faith. They ask the Most Holy One to fulfill their secret dreams, but only those that do not pose a danger to other people.

Prayers to the Trinity can be read at any time of the year, but they are especially powerful on the day of Her glorification, celebrated 50 days after Easter. On this day, in addition to reading personal requests, it is also customary to pray for the deceased so that they find peace in the afterlife.

Pentecost

Pentecost or Holy Trinity Day is considered one of the main Christian holidays, called the twelve. It is celebrated on the fiftieth day after Easter.

Pentecost was established in honor of the descent of the Holy Spirit on the apostles on the tenth day after the ascension of Jesus Christ: “... suddenly there was a noise from heaven, as if from a rushing strong wind, and filled the whole house where they were. And cloven tongues as of fire appeared to them, and one rested on each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance” (Acts 2:2-4).

The importance of the holiday in Christianity is very significant, because it was from the moment the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles that the history of the Church of Christ essentially began. Having gained the opportunity to preach on different languages The apostles went to the most remote corners of the world, bringing people knowledge about the true faith. And the doctrine of Christ acquired a very solid foundation that could no longer be shaken by anything.

Prayers to the Trinity as part of the prayer rule and church services

The initial prayer to the Holy Trinity, “Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us,” is part of the daily prayer rule(read after the Trisagion), as well as as part of the block of prayers “The Trisagion according to Our Father,” present in the middle or end of various rites, the totality of which constitutes one or another service.

When reading this prayer, believers first turn to the three persons of the Holy Trinity together, and then to each of them separately: they ask for deliverance from sins from God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit. Since, according to church dogmas, God is one and He also has one name, the prayer says “for Thy name’s sake” instead of the word “names.” These words show that forgiveness of sins is asked not according to merit, but for the glorification of the Most Holy Trinity, that is, so that God saves not for the sake of something else, but only “for the sake of the name.”

Third prayer to the Most Holy Trinity about fulfillment of desires

The Most Holy Trinity, the consubstantial power, is the wine of all good things! What shall we repay Thee for all that Thou hast repaid to us, sinners and unworthy, before we were born into the world, for all that Thou hast repaid to everyone from us all the days and which Thou hast prepared for all of us in the world to come? It is fitting, therefore, to thank Thee for so much good deeds and generosity, not just in words, but more than in deeds, in keeping and fulfilling Thy commandments: but we, being aware of our passions and evil customs, have cast ourselves into countless sins and iniquities from our youth. For this reason, as if we were unclean and defiled, we should not just appear before Thy Three-Bright Face without coldness, but below Thy Most Holy Name, utter that which is sufficient for us, even if You Yourself had not deigned to proclaim for our joy that the pure and righteous are loving, and sinners who repent are merciful and kind accept it. Look then, O Divine Trinity, from the height of Thy holy glory upon us, many sinners, and accept our good will instead of good deeds, and give us the spirit of true repentance, so that, having hated every sin, in purity and truth we glorify to the end pure thoughts and good deeds Your sweetest and most magnificent name.

O most merciful God, Father, Son and Holy Soul, worshiped and glorified in the indivisible Trinity, look graciously upon Thy servant (Name), sickness possessed;

forgive him all his sins;

give him healing from his illness;

restore his health and bodily strength;

Give him a long and prosperous life, Your peaceful and exemplary blessings, so that together with us he brings grateful prayers to You, the All-Bountiful God and my Creator.

Most Holy Theotokos, through Your omnipotent intercession, help me to beg Your Son, my God, for the healing of God’s servant (name).

All saints and angels of the Lord, pray to God for His sick servant (Name).

Amen. Prayer six to the Most Holy Trinity thank you note

To the Most Holy Trinity, consubstantial Power, all the good Wines that we will repay to You for everything that You have previously repaid to us sinners and unworthy,

Thou hast come forth into the world, for all that thou hast rewarded us with every day, and what thou hast prepared for all of us in the world to come!

It is fitting, therefore, for so much good deeds and generosity, to thank Thee not just in words, but more than in deeds, keeping and fulfilling Thy commandments:

We, heedless of our passion and evil custom, cast ourselves into countless sins and iniquities from our youth.

For this reason, since I am unclean and defiled, I do not want to appear before Your Trisagion without coldness,

but below the name of Your Most Holy One, speak to us, even if You Yourself had not deigned, for our joy, to proclaim that the pure and righteous are loving, and repentant sinners are merciful and graciously accepted.

Look down, O Divine Trinity, from the height of Your Holy Glory upon us, many sinners, and accept our good will, instead of good deeds;

and give us the spirit of true repentance, so that, having hated every sin, in purity and truth, we may live until the end of our days, doing Your most holy will and glorifying Your sweetest and most magnificent name with pure thoughts and good deeds.

How to pray correctly?

Prayer is not just words spoken in moments of joy or, on the contrary, sadness. No! Prayer is something more, namely the ascension of the mind and heart to God, the acceptance of the spirit of God while still on earth. The power of prayer is extremely great. In the words of Saint Demetrius of Rostov: “Prayer not only defeats the laws of nature, not only is it an insurmountable shield against visible and invisible enemies, but it even holds back the hand of the Almighty God Himself, raised to defeat sinners.” One has only to remember that prayer helps only if those praying follow a number of rules.

The most important thing for successful prayer is the right attitude. During prayer, you should not be angry, rush, or be distracted by foreign objects and thoughts: you only need to tune in to communicate with God. As Silouan of Athos noted: “If someone prays to the Lord and thinks about something else, then the Lord will not listen to such a prayer.”

Reading should be done with attention to every word spoken. You must delve into the meaning of prayer and then convey this knowledge to your soul; otherwise, the prayer simply will not reach the Lord, because as believers say, “because hearing depends not on a multitude of words, but on the sobriety of the mind.”

Prayer should be crystal honest: there should be nothing ambiguous or artificial in it.

After finishing your prayer, you should not immediately begin your everyday activities. Stay a little, think about the words spoken, but most importantly, try to maintain the state of mind and soul that you achieved during prayer.

And one last thing. As the Monk Nicodemus the Svyatogorets wrote: “Know that you cannot succeed in prayer without succeeding in general in the Christian life. It is necessary that there should not be a single sin on the soul that has not been cleansed by repentance; and if during your prayerful work you do something that troubles your conscience, hasten to be cleansed by repentance, so that you can boldly look to the Lord.”

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.

We read this prayer three times in honor of the three Persons of the Holy Trinity. This prayer is called the “Trisagion”, or “Angel’s Song”. Christians began to use this prayer after 400, when a strong earthquake in Constantinople destroyed houses and villages and the people, together with Emperor Theodosius II, turned to God with prayer. During the prayer service, one pious youth, in full view of everyone, was raised into heaven by an invisible force, and then lowered back to the ground unharmed. He said that he heard angels singing in heaven: Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal. The touched people, repeating this prayer, added: have mercy on us, and the earthquake stopped. In this prayer, we call God the first Person of the Holy Trinity - God the Father; Strong - God the Son, because He is as omnipotent as God the Father, although according to humanity He suffered and died; Immortal - the Holy Spirit, because He is not only eternal, like the Father and the Son, but also gives life to all creatures and immortal life to people. Since in this prayer the word saint is repeated three times, then it is called “Trisagion”.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Glory- praise; now- Now; constantly- Always; forever and ever- forever, or forever.

In this prayer we do not ask God for anything, we only glorify Him, who appeared to people in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, to whom now and forever belongs the same honor of glorification.

Translation: Praise be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now, always and forever. Amen.

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.

Holy- extremely holy; Trinity- Trinity, three Persons of the Divine: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit; sins and iniquities- our deeds are contrary to the will of God; visit- come; heal- heal; infirmities- weaknesses, sins; for your name's sake- to glorify Your name.

Translation: Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord (Father), forgive us our sins; Master (Son of God), forgive our iniquities; Holy (Spirit), visit us and heal our diseases, to glorify Your name.

Lord have mercy. (Thrice)

Have mercy- be merciful, forgive.

This is the oldest and common prayer among all Christians. We say it when we remember our sins. For the glory of the Holy Trinity, we say this prayer three times. Twelve times we say this prayer, asking God for a blessing for every hour of the day and night. Forty times - for the sanctification of our entire life.

Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Father- Father; Izhe- Which; Who art thou in heaven- Which is in heaven, or heavenly; Yes- let be; hallowed- glorified; like- How; in heaven- in the sky; urgent- necessary for existence; give me a shout- give; today- today, today; leave it- sorry; debts- sins; our debtor- to those people who sinned against us; temptation- temptation, danger of falling into sin; sly- everything cunning and evil, that is, the devil. An evil spirit is called the devil.

This prayer is called the Lord’s Prayer because the Lord Jesus Christ Himself gave it to His disciples when they asked Him to teach them how to pray. Therefore, this prayer is the most important prayer for everyone.

Our Father, who art in heaven! With these words we turn to God and, calling Him Heavenly Father, we urge him to listen to our requests or petitions. When we say that He is in heaven, we must mean the spiritual, invisible sky, and not that visible blue vault that is spread over us and which we call heaven. Hallowed be your name- that is, help us to live righteously, holyly and glorify Your name with our holy deeds. Thy Kingdom come- that is, honor us here on earth with Your Heavenly Kingdom, which is truth, love and peace; reign in us and rule us. Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth- that is, let everything not be as we want, but as You please, and help us to obey this Your will and fulfill it on earth as unquestioningly and without grumbling as it is fulfilled, with love and joy, by the holy Angels in heaven . Because only You know what is useful and necessary for us, and You wish us good more than we ourselves. Give us our daily bread today- that is, give us for this day, for today, our daily bread. By bread here we mean everything necessary for our life on earth: food, clothing, housing, but most importantly the Most Pure Body and the Honest Blood in the sacrament of Holy Communion, without which there is no salvation in eternal life. The Lord commanded us to ask ourselves not for wealth, not for luxury, but only for the most necessary things and to rely on God in everything, remembering that He, as a Father, always cares and takes care of us. And forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors.- that is, forgive us our sins just as we ourselves forgive those who have offended or offended us. In this petition, our sins are called our debts, because the Lord gave us strength, abilities and everything else in order to do good deeds, and we often turn all this into sin and evil and become debtors to God. And if we ourselves do not sincerely forgive our debtors, that is, people who have sins against us, then God will not forgive us. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself told us about this. And do not lead us into temptation- temptation is a state when something or someone draws us to sin, tempts us to do something lawless or bad. We ask - do not allow us to be tempted, which we cannot endure, help us overcome temptations when they happen. But deliver us from evil- that is, deliver us from all evil in this world and from the culprit (chief) of evil - from the devil ( evil spirit), who is always ready to destroy us. Deliver us from this cunning, crafty power and its deceptions, which is nothing before You.

Translation: Our Heavenly Father! Hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us our daily bread for this day; and forgive us our debts (sins), just as we forgive those who have sinned against us; and do not allow us to fall into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one (the devil).
