We have arrived at the “nugget day” or In Brief section for the paragraphs examining the nature of the Father in the Trinity. Fr. Mike reiterates some of the “nuggets” of wisdom from these past few days. He emphasizes the importance of how Baptism allows us to share in the life of the Holy Trinity. We conclude this section with a reflection on this profound call to share in the glory of the Trinity even though it exists “in the obscurity of faith.” Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 261-267.

Father Mike Schmitz explains the remarkable fact that God is not just a father to Israel, nor is he just a father in the order of creation, but he is eternally father, which is revealed in Scripture and passed down through the tradition of the Catholic faith.
The divine persons in the Trinity are inseparable in their being and actions, but each reveals a distinct aspect in the divine missions of the Son's incarnation and the gift of the Holy Spirit. The grace of Baptism calls us to share in the life of the Trinity, both in this life through faith and in eternal light after death.
This transcript emphasizes on how we should share in the life of Trinity to bless our lives even though it is obscure. It also encourages us to understand and reflect on the co-eternal glory and majesty of the Godhead at every moment of our lives.
