| Summary: | In a previous article, we saw that the most common way of defining 'person' today is not irreconcilable with the notion proposed by classical theology. The present study analyzes the mystery of the Trinity (one God in three Persons) in a systematic way which takes account of the difficulties commonly raised because of the contemporary view of 'person.' Each divine Person, by virtue of one and the same awareness of being God is conscious of Himself as distinct from the other two Persons, and, in the same act, each Person is conscious of being God, the true and only God. But this awareness is had "in communion" of being, life, consciousness and love with the other Persons and therefore in virtue of one and the same consciousness in which each is conscious of Himself only in the others, because of the mutual personal exchanges which constitute and distinguish the Persons. Consciousness in God is thus both an essential act of knowledge and love common to the three Persons, and personal consciousness, exercised by each Person, as consciousness of self, according to the personal action of each which is infinitely conscious and free, as pure and spontaneous love, in the most perfect reciprocity. |
