born dying

We are born dying.
Like an infant in the NICU, we are sick, dying, and unable to free ourselves from our sinful condition.

Our God does not forsake us in our great need.  The blessed Trinity, Three in One, is God for us.

Our Father develops the plan of salvation; the Son fulfills the law in our place; the Holy Spirit brings us the Son.

Our Father writes the prescription; the Son fills the prescription; the Holy Spirit gives it to us.  Oh, blessed Trinity!  God is for us!

Praise we the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, with them One,
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from the Spirit flow!
(Come Holy Ghost Creator Blest verse 7)
