The Holy Spirit and the Holy Trinity

The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and Life. It is the mystery of God in himself. It is therefore the source of all the other mysteries of faith, the light that enlightens them. It is the most fundamental and essential teaching in the "hierarchy of truths of the faith." The whole history of salvation is identical with the history of the way and the means by which the one true God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, reveals himself to men "and reconciles and unites with himself those who turn away from sin." CCC 234.



In our continuing quest to understand the Holy Spirit, here is a not-so-short (12 minutes) video from Bishop Baron to give you some more insight.

And if you would like to spend some more time reflecting on the Rublev Icon of the Holy Trinity, here it is.

PRAYER FOR THE WEEK
     Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful
     and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
     Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.
     And you shall renew the face of the earth.
     Veni, Sancte Spiritus!
