the mystery where one becomes three
and these three become one
this is the mystery of the holy trinity
which is the central mystery of
christian faith and life
it is the mystery of god in himself
indeed it's not easy to understand
let us think about it this way
here is the sun
it is a shape of sphere
and light and heat come out of it then
is the sun a sphere
or light or heat we may consider these
three are a single sun
just as the sphere produces light and
heat the light also heats up and forms a
sphere while the heat produces light and
makes a sphere as well therefore we may
say the sun is one as three at the same
time we may consider the sun is three as
one
likewise the catholic church teaches one
god in three persons the divine persons
do not share the one divinity among
themselves but each one of them is god
whole and entire
this is the dogma of the holy trinity
today let us think about this dogma
why do you think god came to us
revealing himself as one in three
persons
was it for himself or was it for us
god has presented himself to us as the
father the son and the holy spirit and
the father and the son and the holy
spirit are one god this is the
trinitarian dogma which is the core of
the christian faith
the word trinity is not mentioned
directly in the bible
however it is mentioned indirectly in
several parts in the old testament god
is expressed as us and elusively
referred to as word spirit or wisdom
and in the new testament when the angel
gabriel announced the birth of jesus to
mary
he said that the holy spirit will come
upon you and the power of the most high
will overshadow you
therefore the child to be born will be
called holy the son of god
when jesus was baptized
heaven was opened and the holy spirit
descended upon him in bodily form like a
dove
and the voice came from heaven
you are my beloved son with you i am
well pleased
and when jesus gave the mission to his
disciples to proclaim the gospel he
clearly mentioned the common work of the
three divine persons by saying baptizing
them in the name of the father and of
the son and of the holy spirit
this belief in the trinity has been
handed down from the early church of the
apostles after then it was proclaimed at
the dogma at the council of nicaea in 80
325
the dogma is that god is one but not
solitary father son holy spirit are not
simply names designating modalities of
the divine being for they are really
distinct from one another the father
created all things the son was sent to
the world by the father and became
incarnate and saved us by his death on
the cross and his resurrection and the
holy spirit has come from the father and
the son sanctifies us and unites us with
love while staying in the church
therefore each divine person performs
the common work according to his unique
personal property the catholic church in
faith accepts beliefs confesses and
teaches this mystery of the trinity
the church also shows faith in the
triune god throughout the life of faith
including liturgical rights it is
revealed in all prayers
from the sign of the cross which is the
basis of acts of faith and the glory be
to the apostles creed and is expressed
in all the sacraments
and the church celebrates trinity sunday
the week after pentecost giving thanks
to and glorifying the trinity god for
his work of human salvation
as the father loves me so i also love
you
remain in my love
in our life of faith we must share the
communion and unity with the holy
trinity
and also we must have communion with
each other
when we pray we are offering it to god
the father through the son in the holy
spirit
not only the prayer but also our path to
salvation is reaching the father through
the son in the holy spirit god's coming
as father the son and the holy spirit is
his consideration for us
it is god's love wanting to be closer to
us
we thank god who is one but also three
and three but also one at the same time
praising and glorifying god now and
forever
