Episode notes
Friend's Reframe Of The Creed
- A friend reminded Fr. Mike Schmitz that reciting the Creed describes who he believes, not just what.
- This personal example reframes the Creed from abstract propositions to a relational declaration.
Pray To Know Who God Is
- Use prayer to remember God is a 'who' and to deepen relationship with the Trinity.
- Fr. Mike Schmitz begins the episode with a guided prayer inviting relational knowledge of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
One What, Three Whos
- God is a single 'what' and three 'who's' which helps reconcile unity and personhood in the Trinity.
- Fr. Mike Schmitz frames God as one divine being revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to preserve both unity and distinct persons.
