In John’s Gospel, “… Jesus makes it clear once again that he and the Father are one. God is not a force or an energy or a spiritual presence occupying the deep background of your life; he’s not something that you can tap into when you feel like it. Nor is God a distant supreme being who organized the universe long ago and now leaves it to its own devices…. God is the Lord.” [Bishop Barron on John 12:44–50]
When we pray the [Nicene] Creed at Mass we proclaim, “I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made ….”
Spend time today reflecting on Jesus, true God, and true man. He and The Father are one and with the Holy Spirit we find three persons in one God.
May God Be Praised.
