Let me now rejoice, O most gracious God, in the love You have shown to our poor human race, opeing up to us a way where we may be delivered from our sin and foolishness.

O God the Father I praise the great and holy love where, when we had utterly gone astray, You diligently sought us out and saved us, sending Your well-beloved Son to suffer and die that we may be restored to the fellowship of Your children.

O God the Son, I prase the great and holy love where You humbled Yourself for my sake and for the sake of my brother and sisters, consenting to share our common life to dwell in the midst of all our sin and shame, to endure all the bitterness of Your most blessed Passion, and at the last to die upon the Cross, that we may be released from our bondage and enter with You into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

O God the Holy Spirit, I praise the great and holy love where You daily shed abroad in my unworthy heart the peace and joy of sin forgiven, making me a partaker with all the saints in the blessings of my Lord’s Incarnation of His Passion and Crucifixion, and of His Resurrection and Ascension to the Father’s right hand on high.

O holy and blessed Trinity, let me now so dwell in the mystery of this heavenly love that all hatred and malice may be rooted out from my heart and life. Let me love You as You first loved me; and in loving You let me love also my neighbor; and in loving You and my neighbor in You let me be saved from all false love of myself; and to You, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, be all glory and praise for ever. Amen.
