Hey there,
Sunday we will celebrate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity.
Cue the analogies trying to explain this great mystery.
We’ve discussed the Holy Trinity before, so I’m not going to do that now. But we are going to look at prayer and the Holy Trinity.
Aside from trying to understand the Holy Trinity, it does beg the question: when should you pray to the Father, to the Son, or to the Holy Spirit?
Do you pray to all three at different times or do you primarily speak to one of the three most of the time?
There are many prayers available to us that invoke the various persons of the Trinity.
The Lord’s Prayer.
The Prayer For The Seven Gifts of The Holy Spirit.
Then there’s the one that invokes all three, The Sign of The Cross.
And there are so many more prayers!
Ahead of Holy Trinity Sunday, this week Genuflect tries to answer the question of which person of the Holy Trinity to pray to … and about praying to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Spoiler alert: when you pray to one, you are praying to the others too! Find out more below.

Which Person of The Trinity to Pray to

Who Can we Pray to?
We can pray to God, the Son, or the Holy Spirit at any time. But the Catechism of the Catholic Church says “There is no other way of Christian prayer than Christ.” So do we always have to pray to God through Jesus? And what about praying to Mary and the Saints? Just who can we pray to? Father John Flader has the answers.

Praying to Our Father
For more than 2000 years people have been praying to God as Jesus taught us to do. I’m speaking, of course, of The Lord’s Prayer. But we might take it for granted and go through the motions when we say the prayer. Father Michael Rossmann shares the deeper meaning behind some key words in the Lord’s Prayer. You don’t want to miss this one!

In Honor of Trinity Sunday, Katie Cassady challenges us to “step out in faith and ask the Lord to accompany you and to surprise you this week!” by spending time in prayer to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. She even provides some scripture verses to help.
