The Mystery of the Trinity
Hypostasis in Greek; the term used to describe the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in their real relation to and distinction from one another within the unity of the Blessed Trinity. Each of the three divine Persons is fully God — one in divine nature or substance, yet distinct as persons. The mystery of the Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith (CCC 252–253). See Trinity.
