Everlasting God, almighty Father,
From the beginning, you have been our help. You are the source of all
good gifts, granting each of us more than we deserve. We give you
thanks, and we ask you to open our eyes to the blessings with which
you so richly surround us on every side.
Lord Jesus Christ, you human God [Du menschlicher Gott],
You have lived our life and suffered our death in order to begin a new
life with us. You embrace us in a mystery where we are forever safe.
We praise your hidden presence, even as we yearn for the future glory
when, fully visible, you will meet us and all the world. Come, Lord
Jesus!
God, Holy Spirit,
Power from on high; you want to burn within us as a holy fire. Kindle
in us a love for truth that yields an earthly knowledge which does not
destroy the secrets of this world but rather enters them protectingly
and lovingly. Deem us worthy to know even you, opening our
mouths in awe.
