The Holy Trinity
The Holy Trinity is the central mystery of the Christian faith: one God in three distinct Divine Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Holy Trinity is the mystery of one God in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (CCC 232). It is the central mystery of Christian faith and life, the source of all other mysteries (CCC 234).
One God in Three Persons
The Trinity is One. We do not confess three gods, but one God in three Persons, the 'consubstantial Trinity' (CCC 253).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Trinity be understood by reason? No. The Trinity is a mystery of faith in the strict sense, known only because it was revealed by God (CCC 237).
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
