The Father set us free, the Son was our ransom, and the Spirit our liberty, for Paul says, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
Dennis
Hamm, SJ
Our Scripture readings for this feast remind us that the experience of the triune God long preceded the philosophical statements about it.
Reginald H. Fuller
The Christian believer knows that he/she has been adopted through
Christ in baptism, and in the Eucharistic liturgy [he/she] is
enabled by the Spirit to invoke the Father.
