One of the most difficult mysteries to fully comprehend in the Catholic faith is the Blessed Trinity. It is the idea that there is Three Persons in One God. This can be confusing, because if one looks at it literally, then Jesus Christ would not technically be the Son of God, he would in fact be God. Consequently, this is one of the mysteries of the faith that we cannot ever fully come to know as human beings. Our intellect has not fully developed to the point where we can understand such complex ideas as the Holy Trinity.
Even though the Blessed Trinity is so hard to follow and understand in Scripture, it is the main basis that the Catholic Church is founded on, and is the most essential part of Catholicism. Catholics believe that our sins were saved by the freely willing death of the Son of God, therefore, without believing that Jesus Christ was indeed True God and True Man, everything else in Catholicism cannot be true. Also, during the Creation Story God the Father is seen as creating the entire world, but the other two Persons of God can be found as well. The Son is mentioned during the creation of Adam and Eve, and the Holy Spirit is discussed as the entity that watches over creation in a more close up way. Even without being able to fully understand the truth of the Blessed Trinity, I am not going to be a Thomas. I believed in things such as Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny when I was little, things that physically could not be possible. While Thomas could not even find it in himself to believe in the risen savior. Consequently, I believe in the Blessed Trinity 150%, and that is without being able to actually see it, or even come to know it. Do you?
