St. Peter Canisius Apostolate

In this episode of the Jesus and the Catholic Church Podcast, we use Luke 1.35 as our springboard for discussing the doctrine of the Trinity. We see what the Trinity is the most important truth of Christianity. We discuss the academic, yet necessary, distinction between the “immanent Trinity” and the “economic Trinity.” We see that we know that God is a trinity of persons through the revelation of Jesus Christ. We seek to understand the notions of “nature” and “person” in order to understand the doctrine itself. And finally, we discuss how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, though always acting in unity, have distinct roles in the acts of creation, redemption, and sanctification.
