Compendium Series: the mystery of the Trinity.

45. Can the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity be known by the light of human reason alone? (CCC 237)

God has lefts some traces of the trinitarian being in creation and in the Old Testament but his inmost being as the Holy Trinity is a mystery which is inaccessible to reason alone or even to Israel’s faith before the Incarnation of the Son of God and the sending of the Holy Spirit.  The mystery was revealed by Jesus Christ and it is the source of all the other mysteries.


What does this mean for me?
1.     By God’s love I am able to be in relationship with Father, Son and Holy Spirit through faith.
2.     I can praise God that the mystery of the Trinity was revealed by Jesus.

Questions to consider:

1.     Where are the traces of the Trinitarian being in creation?
2.     Where are the traces of the Trinitarian being in the Old Testament?
3.     What does the sending of the Holy Spirit mean to me in my life?
4.     Why is the Trinity the source of all the other mysteries?
