Hi, Peace and greetings to you all in the name of our LORD and SAVIOUR, the FIRST and the LAST...JESUS CHRIST(ISA44:6/REV1:17,18)
GOD is a communion of persons, a family whose life is love. He is pure Being, existing from all eternity, both infinitely transcendent, unlimited, unchanging, greater than all His works. He is also infinitely imanent, intimately involved in the existence and life of every creature, most especially with us human persons. In GOD, we live, we move, we have our being. We are meant to abandon ourselves to HIM. The One GOD is Three Persons in One Divine substance, having one intellect and one will. Within the Godhead, the Person of the Father is unbegotten and does not proceed from any other person. However, the Father eternall pours Himself out, eternally begetting the Son. The Holy Spirit, the eternal and complete outpouring of love between Father and Son, eternally proceeds from the Father and(or through) the Son. The procession of the Son from the Father gives two relations: the relations of paternity and filiation. The procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father through the Son also gives two relations: the relations of active spiration(the Father and Son actively spirate the Spirit) and passive spiration(the Spirit is passively spirated). Active spiration is opposed to passive spiration but is not opposed to paternity and filiation, thus there are three opposing relations and three Persons. GOD is, therefore, one in indivisable substance containing Two Processions, between Three Persons, having Four Relations. The Father pours Himself out and subsists wholly in the Son and the Father pours Himself out and subsists wholly in the Spirit. The Son and the Spirit each pour themselves out in like manner, subsistins wholly in each other and wholly in the Father. This is the inner life of Trinitarian love. Truth, Beauty and goodness all reveal the nature of that life, the mindset of GOD. This knowledge, available only through the revelation brought to us by Jesus Christ, is part of the inner life of GOD. (read Catechism of the Catholic Church#198-301)
GOD the Father-Created us. GOD the Son-Redeemed us. GOD the Holy Spirit-Sanctifies us yet it is One GOD WHO DOES IT ALL. PRAISE GOD. True, this is a deep and mysterious thing which goes beyond our limited, finite reasoning just as how can we fully understand the Sanctuary yet even though we don't we still dive into the riches it has to offer us about GOD'S LOVE TOWARD US. GOD IS CREATOR, REDEEMER AND SANCTIFIER and while seemingly complicated ,if seen through the eyes of the faith of a child, is quite simple and beautiful. GOD BLESS YOU ALL and thanks for letting me share. I appreciate it....richard speed
