Trinity

On this feast of the Holy Trinity, may I suggest a practical prayer that we can all do every night so that the Holy Trinity may become an important part of our lives. So, as an examination of conscience, every night before you get to bed, take 3 minutes or even one minute divided into 20 seconds. In the first minute, think of a positive event that happened to you during the day, maybe a good news you received, a good deed you accomplished, and thank God the Father for it. In the second minute, think of a negative thing that you experienced, maybe a conflict, an argument or quarrel with someone else, and ask God the Son, Jesus, to forgive you for it. Then during the last minute, think of something you have to do tomorrow, maybe an important decision you have to make, talking to another person on an important issue, and talk to God the Holy Spirit while asking or guidance and inspiration. A simple, yet effective way to feel connected with the Trinity. And let us never be embarrassed in blessing ourselves – it is the sign of the Christian, and probably the first sign and gesture children are taught at a very young age. Let us not refrain from blessing ourselves even in public, before a meal at a restaurant, before embarking on a trip or a journey. thereby giving a good example to our children.
