- The Trinity means Christians pray from within God's life, not from the outside as supplicants.
- Bishop Robert Barron says baptism opens us to live in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Mystery Is Meant To Confound
- Complex theological language intentionally confounds to signal God's transcendence.
- Barron compares Trinitarian doctrine to incense that obscures to remind us of divine mystery.
Paschal Mystery Reveals Trinitarian Love
- The Paschal Mystery reveals the Trinity because God the Father sends the Son into human abandonment.
- That sending, rooted in love, shows the Spirit as the bond holding Father and Son together.
