Trinity means three in
one. We believe in 'Three Persons in One God', we say in our Creed.
We talk about God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. This
is really three ways of thinking about God. The Holy Trinity is about
the relationship between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Of
course, this is all about love!
Here is a poem called 'Trinity' written by a lady called Mary who lives
in our parish.
And
here are the three parts separately:
Saint
Patrick is said to have explained the Trinity by using a shamrock leaf,
which has three parts, but is still one leaf.
God
wants us to relate to him as we would relate to another person, so that
we really know him and he is not a far-off idea in our heads.
We
can think of the Holy Spirit as the love flowing between the Father and
the Son, which is also the energy of love that can come alive in us.
Congratulations
to NIAMH who made her FIRST HOLY COMMUNION today!
