The One God has Revealed Himself as a Trinity of Persons
Compendium 44-49 Matthew 3:13-17
1. The Trinity is the most sublime and central mystery. It sheds light on every aspect of our faith and our lives. Revealed to us by Jesus Christ, the concept of the Trinity expands and elevates the power of reason.
2. From the Scriptures we learn that Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit hovered over him at his baptism and the Transfiguration. The Holy Spirit empowered the Apostles to forgive sins and descended on Mary and the Apostles at Pentecost.
3. The Father eternally generates the Son and the bond of love between them is the Holy Spirit.
4. The three persons of the Trinity possess completely and co-equally the divine nature. They are three identifiable Persons, each fully God in a manner that is distinct yet related to the others.
5.The human family is an image of the Trinity.
