The Trisagion

The Trisagion prayer – Greek: Τρισάγιον ‘Thrice Holy’.

This is a beautiful prayer of the eastern Catholic Church. I found it when we joined Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church. I love their reverential Liturgy but being an Apostle of Mercy I’d say it’s close link to the Chaplet of Divine Mercy was God’s way of saying I found home.

“Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”

Latin: Sanctus Deus, Sanctus Fortis, Sanctus Immortalis, miserere nobis.

Ukrainian: Святий Боже, Святий і Могутній, Святий і Безсмертний, помилуй нас.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (Said 3 times)

This is a great short and easy prayer to start and end the day as well as fill in those middle moments between waking and sleeping. This prayer calls to mind and reminds us of Who exactly God is and who we are. When time are tough and life seems hard, “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (Said 3 times).” When joy is off the chart, Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (Said 3 times).” And, in every moment between, “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. (Said 3 times).”

Set you phone to remind you and make this prayer your newest habit. It takes seconds and last forever in your heart.

“Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us.”

Then, take the next level and sing it in your heart and out loud.

“Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us. “Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us.”

I tried finding a good YouTube version but just go to Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church in Carnegie PA and find out how to sing it, and the beauty of the Divine Liturgy. Tell Father that Ed invited you. And, don’t worry, they are in full union with the Church in Rome. Jesus IS found in the Eucharist here and honored most reverentially.
