Prayer to the Trinity: Blest Community


Here’s a prayer to the Trinity, written by Loretta F. Ross

Blest Community

O Most Holy Trinity
Undivided Unity,
teach us the gentle deference
of your dance of surrendered love
how with infinite tenderness
and utmost esteem
you so gently
adoringly
are present
to one another. 

Teach us your perichoresis, 
your grand circle dance,
where you eternally birth joy
from the womb of reverence.
Teach us your unending, 
enfolding regard
for the pure holiness
you hold and behold.

You,
sweet breath and the lungs of creation, 
eternally giving,
empty
and eternally receiving
are filled.

You release and bind, 
but never push nor pull.
You hold accountable,
but never blame.

You incline yourselves to one another 
as a grove of green willows
bending in the breeze
bowing to each other's grace
known and cherished
on the broad plain of mutuality.

Deepen our trust, O Blest Community, 
that we may enter such intimacy.
