“THEORIA
#2”-The Trinity and His Works
The three persons are
One God and each of the three persons are 100% God. We cannot truly comprehend
and describe the Trinity. For as the same realization of St. Augustine on the
beach, “You can’t put the Doctrine of an
Infinite Being in a finite mind of a finite person”. We are beings of three
dimensions of space. We can’t describe something that can manifest in three. It
will be like describing 6 squares in one figure, the Cube, if we were living in 2 dimensions. So, we will just have to digest how His dynamics within the Tri-unity of LOVE. St. Augustine modelled the Trinity after the
human mind, of which is made in God’s image. The Father is God knowing Himself,
or someone that wills or intends for LOVE.
The Father is inward in motion and manifests the perfection in
God----or God as the Source of all Good things and the very Being of All
Perfections. That is why Christ simply presented Him to us as “The Father”. He is the Source, the Precursor, the Head, the
Intender, and the Maker of all LOVE.
The Son is presented as God’s answer to knowing, the knowledge, or word, or
manifestation of God’s intention for LOVE. He is the expression
of Father’s will of Love. He is the mediator between thinking and doing.
The bridge between the Source of all things to the things outside the Godhead.
He is the right hand of a God Who intends only LOVE. He is begotten truly out of LOVE thus He is simply, “The
Son” of God. The Greatest Manifestation of God’s Living LOVE. Due to God’s infinity,
simplicity, and mysteriousness, He is uncreated, but timelessly begotten or
sourced to the Father. The Father loves perfectly the Son, and the Son loves
perfectly the Father, and in this exchange of Divine and Infinite LOVE, which lives in the warmth, or comfort, or experience
of the resonating compassion that sustains life in the Unity of the Trinity,
and the Universe with its Prime Causer. A love or experience or warmth, that so
perfect and so alive, the Lord and Giver of Life, Sustainer and Comforter of
All, is fully alive as a person merely entitled by our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ, as “The Holy Spirit”. The matter of who is Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier
is a matter also of appropriation judged in the perception of Man. But every
work by the Trinity, every person is glorified. For they are one Being. The
Father is assumed in the works of Creation because He is the ultimate begetter
and source of all things in imagining them in His Sacred Mind. The Son is the
Redeemer because the Ultimate Act of Love, the Sacrifice and Atonement at the
Cross, is done by that person, the Lamb and Word and Son of God. And finally,
Sanctification of the World, the Sustenance of Life and Existence, and the
Comforting of All spirits, is presumed by the Holy Spirit, for He is “the
Love that moves the Sun and the other stars”~Dante’s Paradiso. But in
Creation, the Son is the expression of which existence burst out in being of
whom through
Him, of all things were made~John, and the Holy Spirit’s Love sustains
all things~Scripture.
Redemption was willed and offered by the Father, of whom He loves the World so much, He
gave us His only Son,~John 3:16 and the Holy Spirit who distributes the
graces purchased in Calvary. And at last, the Father moves the things and
events for Men to be saved in grace, and the Son moves in the Church, the
Mystical Body on Earth, to continue His works of Love and prove the Love of the
Supreme Being. The one God works in the three persons, in the Trinity.
