We profess God’s being as "inexpressible, invisible,
incomprehensible.. All-Holy Trinity
in One." God is a Trinity in three Persons, and there is not a
senior or a junior Person among Them. His completeness is expressed in the
Trinity; God is over us, God is with us, God is in all the creation and us.
Over us is God the Father — the ever-flowing
Source, according to the Church prayer, the Basis of all existence, our Father,
our love and we are His children, creation of His hands.
With us is God the Son — His birth was due to His
divine love, in order that He may appear to people as a Human, so that we would
know and see with our own eyes that God is with us, in a perfect image,
"genuinely" uniting with us.
In us and all creation is God the Holy Spirit —
filling all things: Who fulfils everything, Lifegiver that Lives in everything
and everyone with His own providential power, cascading His blessing of
sanctity on God the Son’s Church, on the faithful so as to elevate and make
them worthy of communion with God in this world, and make them worthy of
eternal life in God.
Apostle Paul teaches us: "One God and
Father of all, who is above all (as the Holy Fathers interpret, God the
Father), through all (God the Son) and in you all" (God the
Holy Spirit; Eph. 4:6).
During the Feast of Pentecost, our Church sings:
"One Might, One Substance, one Godhead, which we all worship, saying,
Holy God who created everything through the Son with the help of the Holy
Spirit; Holy Mighty, in whom we knew the Father, and through whom the Holy
Spirit came into the world; Holy Immortal One, the comforting Spirit,
proceeding from the Father and resting in the Son; O Holy Trinity, glory to
Thee."
