We may say that the salvation of our souls necessitates our knowing something of God’s Nature and purposes, but our human limitations prevent us knowing all.  And such incomplete knowledge is as puzzling as truths imperfectly revealed are mysteries.

This is especially true of the doctrine of the Blessed Trinity, Three Persons in one God.  We have contrasted the essential goodness of God with the existence of evil; and with that evil the soul of each of us is infected and made unfit even to approach God, let alone share his glory.  But in the Person of Jesus Christ, God the Son has come to our rescue by becoming Man and dying on the Cross in order to save us from the power and consequences of our sins and to restore us to the Father.

And following up this surpassing generosity to us, God the Holy Spirit imparts to our souls in the Sacraments of his Church, his own living power and presence to make us holy and spotless like himself so that we may one day be fit to enjoy the Beatific Vision of the Eternal Trinity.  In return for this incomprehensible love which God again and again bestows upon us, how can faithful Christians do otherwise than give to each Person of the Blessed Trinity the worship and adoration of their whole soul?
