"The faith of all Christians rests on the Trinity."54 233 Christians are baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: not in their names,55 for there is only one God, the almighty Father, his only Son and the Holy Spirit: the Most Holy Trinity. 234 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 the truths of faith".56 The whole history of salvation is identical with the his- tory of the way and the means by which the one true God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, re- veals himself to men "and reconciles and unites with himself those who turn away from sin".57 235 This paragraph expounds briefly (I) how the mystery of the Blessed Trinity was re- vealed, (II) how the Church has articulated the doctrine of the faith regarding this mystery, and (III) how, by the divine missions of the Son and the Holy Spirit, God the Father fulfills the "plan of his loving goodness" of creation, redemption and sanctification. 236 The Fathers of the Church distinguish between theology (theologia) and economy (oikonomia). "Theology" refers to the mystery of God's inmost life within the Blessed Trin- ity and "economy" to all the works by which God reveals himself and communicates his life. Through the oikonomia the theologia is revealed to us; but conversely, the theologia illuminates the whole oikonomia. God's works reveal who he is in himself; the mystery of his inmost being enlightens our understanding of all his works. So it is, analogously, among human persons. A person discloses himself in his actions, and the bet- ter we know a person, the better we understand his actions. 237 The Trinity is a mystery of faith in the strict sense, one of the "mysteries that are hid- den in God, which can never be known unless they are revealed by God".58 To be sure, God has left traces of his Trinitarian being in his work of creation and in his Revelation through- out the Old Testament. But his inmost Being as Holy Trinity is a mystery that is inaccessi- ble to reason alone or even to Israel's faith before the Incarnation of God's Son and the sending of the Holy Spirit. https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s2c1p2.htm The Most Holy Trinity June 7, 2020 Page 4 Readings, Intentions, Saints & Special Observances READINGS FOR THE WEEK SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Monday: 1 Kgs 17:1-6; Ps 121:1bc-8; Mt 5:1-12 Sunday: The Most Holy Trinity; Tuesday: 1 Kgs 17:7-16; Ps 4:2-5, 7b-8; Mt 5:13-16 Julian Calendar Pentecost Wednesday: 1 Kgs 18:20-39; Ps 16:1b-2ab, 4, 5ab, 8, 11; Monday: Tenth Week in Ordinary Time Mt 5:17-19 Tuesday: St. Ephrem Thursday: Acts 11:21b-26; 13:1-3; Ps 65:10-13; Thursday: St. Barnabas Mt 5:20-26 Saturday: St. Anthony of Padua Friday: 1 Kgs 19:9a, 11-16; Ps 27:7-9abc, 13-14; Mt 5:27-32 Saturday: 1 Kgs 19:19-21; Ps 16:1b-2a, 5, 7-10; Mt 5:33-37 Sunday: Dt 8:2-3, 14b-16a; Ps 147:12-15, 19-20; GRACE AND ETERNAL LIFE 1 Cor 10:16-17; Jn 6:51-58 Moses is a man after our own hearts, for haven’t we all dealt with more than our share of stiff-necked people? Indeed, haven’t we all gotten a little stiff-necked ourselves at times? Complaining . impatient . quick to anger. How lucky for Moses—how lucky for all of us—that God is exactly the op- posite! And we don’t even have to guess about it. The Lord tells us so directly. Accordingly, Moses does what we all need to do. Even with the tablets in hand, he bows down and asks for God’s forgiveness and grace. Please pray for the sick: Encouraging us to live together in peace—and in God’s favor—the Apostle Paul knows all about this grace, joyfully invoking Christ’s grace on us along with God’s love and the Harry Allen Pola Munoz Holy Spirit’s. “Rejoice,” he says.
