Calling God "Father" indicates two main things: that God is the first origin of everything and transcendent authority; and that God is the good, loving and caring parent for all. God is neither man nor woman. He transcends human fatherhood and motherhood. Jesus revealed that God is eternally Father in relation to HIS only Son, who is eternally Son in relation to HIS Father. The sending of the Person of the Spirit after Jesus' glorification reveals in its fullness the mystery of the Holy Trinity. The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, is God, one and equal with the Father and the Son, of the same substance and also of the same nature. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of both the Father and the Son and comes from the Father through the Son. (Ref. CCC 239-248)
Prayer :
O Most Holy Trinity, I worship and adore YOU. YOU who fills the whole universe, reveal YOURSELF to me personally and help me to experience YOUR presence. Abba, Jesus, Holy Spirit, thank YOU for dwelling in me. O three Divine Persons in one God, teach me how to be united and to be in communion.
