The One, True and Living God

We give you thanks, O God: we give you thanks, Trinity one and true, Divinity one and most high, Unity one and holy. (Liturgy of the Hours) BY THE PROPER USE OF OUR MINDS, we can discover and know that there must be a Maker of this world and an Author of Life. There must be and is a Creator and Lord, who is infinitely wise, all powerful, eternal and personal. The one who made us cannot be inferior to us: God cannot be a mere impersonal “force”. This all truthful God has in fact spoken to us. He spoke to our first parents. He spoke to Abraham and his children down through the ages. And finally God came among us, taking on our human flesh, becoming our brother and Saviour: Jesus Christ. Today’s feast celebrates our Faith, which is the true one, and its central mystery: one true and living God, in three Divine Persons, who share equally in being God, who each are equally and coeternally the Almighty. We are called to a share in God’s own supernatural life: called to be children of the Father and sons and daughters of Light; living branches on the true and fruitful Vine, Jesus Christ; temples of the Holy Spirit.
