Almighty God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the one true God - before the foundation of the world you existed in the glorious perfection of divine love. Our eternal life consists in knowing you the transcendent Father in and through the humiliation and exaltation of the Word made flesh, and this day through the work of the Holy Spirit in our setting apart and transformation into Jesus's likeness.
