Prayer to the Trinity for our Hundred-Year Service to the Church

Prayer to the Trinity for Our Hundred-Year Service to the Church


Blessed Trinity,
Source of the divine light that shines in us,
we offer you our joyous praise and thanksgiving
as we celebrate our first century of life as the Pauline Family.

Immensely tender Father,
we thank you for the wealth of graces you have poured out so abundantly
on our Family during these years of service to the Church.
Thank you for the miracles of apostolic holiness you realized
in Blessed James Alberione, our Founder, in Blessed Timothy Giaccardo,
in Maestra Thecla, in Mother Scholastica
and in many other members of the “marvelous Pauline Family.”
Thank you, Father, for all the initiatives of our various apostolic sectors
that have helped to make your name known and adored
and that have manifested your glory
through the wonders of communication.

Divine Master, Good Shepherd,
we humbly ask you to forgive us
for not always responding generously
to the requirements of our mission.
Forgive us for failing to dedicate sufficient time and attention
to getting to know your Word and the depths of our charism.
Forgive us for trusting more in our own abilities and means
than in the gift of your infinite mercy.

Holy Spirit, Paraclete,
we beg you through the intercession of Mary, Queen of Apostles,
to gift with great wisdom
those whom you have appointed as our guides.
Help them accurately discern the paths
by which you want to lead our Family.
Fill us with your breath of life, as in a renewed Pentecost.
Make us capable of new prophecy
so as to fully realize the dream of our Blessed Founder:
to live and give Christ, Way, Truth and Life
to the people of our time
and to be “Paul living today” in the Church.

Glory to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit…
