Julian of Norwich   c 1320-1400

 

As truly as  God is our Father,

So just as truly is he our mother.

 

In our Father, God Almighty, we have our being;

In our merciful Mother we are re-made and restored.

 

Our fragmented lives are knit together;

And by giving and yielding ourselves, through grace, to the Holy Spirit, we are made whole.

 

It is I, the strength and goodness of Fatherhood.

It is I, the wisdom of Motherhood.

It is I, the light and grace of Holy love.

It is I, the Trinity, it is I, the unity.

 

It is I the sovereign goodness in all things.

It is I who teach you to love.

It is I who teach you to desire.

It is I who  am the reward of all true desiring.

 

All shall be well,

And all shall be well,

And all manner of things shall be well.

 

 

Also another prayer on the Trinity:

Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)

 

Praise to the Trinity – which is sound and life

And Creatress of all things within their very life,

And the praise of the angel throng

And lofty splendor of hidden mysteries,

Which are unknown to human minds –

It Is, and within all things, it is life.
