 Q. How might I bring the Persons of the Blessed Trinity more into my prayer?

A. We use a cluster of small words called prepositions which indicate the position or relationship between objects or people, e.g., on, under, with, by, through, beside, over, etc. At Mass we go to the Father, through Jesus the Son (as our Mediator), with him (since he shared in our humanity) and in him (as members of the Body of which he is the Head), by the unifying power of the Holy Spirit. An ancient prayer is: Glory to the Father, through the Son, by the Holy Spirit. Pay attention to these little prepositions which express our relationship with each of the three divine persons.
