THE TRINITY

John 17 is the chapter where God talked to God.

This is a glimpse into the mistery of the HOLY TRINITY and God's actions over the course of salvation history. In the Old Testamen, God revealed himself as the Father of all creation. In the New Testament, God revealed himself as Father in relationship to the Son, as Son in the person of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit sent from the Father. United as one God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit worked together to bring about our salvation.

THE CHURCH TEACHES THAT: EACH PERSON ON THE TRINITY  - FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT - IS FULLY DIVINE IN AND OF THEMSELVES. In other words, the Father is God, Jesus is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and together they are the one God.

When we are baptised in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we enter into the life and mystery of the Trinity.

Every time we make the sign of the cross, we are reminded of the Trinity.

We are called to reflect God's unity in our relationships with one another by working together to help all people find salvation in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
