The Most Holy Trinity, solemnity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MOST HOLY TRINITY
The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery
of the Christian faith and of Christian life. God alone can make it
known to us by revealing himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Incarnation of God's Son reveals that God is the eternal
Father and that the Son is consubstantial with the Father, which means
that, in the Father and with the Father the Son is one and the same
God. The mission of the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father in the
name of the Son (=> Jn 14:26) and by the Son "from the Father" (=> Jn
15:26), reveals that, with them, the Spirit is one and the same God.
"With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified" (Nicene
Creed).
"The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father as the first
principle and, by the eternal gift of this to the Son, from the
communion of both the Father and the Son" (St. Augustine, De Trin. 15,
26, 47).
By the grace of Baptism "in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit", we are called to share in the life of the
Blessed Trinity, here on earth in the obscurity of faith, and after
death in eternal light (cf. Paul VI, CPG).
"Now this is the Catholic faith: We worship one God in the
Trinity and the Trinity in unity, without either confusing the persons
or dividing the substance; for the person of the Father is one, the
Son's is another, the Holy Spirit's another; but the Godhead of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one, their glory equal, their majesty
coeternal" (Athanasian Creed).
Inseparable in what they are, the divine persons are also
inseparable in what they do. But within the single divine operation
each shows forth what is proper to him in the Trinity, especially in
the divine missions of the Son's Incarnation and the gift of the Holy
Spirit.
