Ocean of all being, to whom we belong, let us not live solely for ourselves, thinking of our pleasures and needs and satisfaction, that we might live also for you and for all those whom you love, mimicking the great communion of persons that is the Trinity. We ask this through Christ our savior, who is one with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect love forever. Amen.
‘For we do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.’ – Rom. 14:7-8
