Fr. Mike continues to unpack the Church’s teachings on the Trinity. Today, we move into an examination of the divine economy or how God has revealed and communicated himself on earth. The divine economy is not just the work of the Father, but rather the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit together as one. Fr. Mike concludes this episode with a reflection on the impactful words of Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity who asks God to “make our hearts his heaven.” Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 257-260.

The divine economy, or the ways God reveals himself and communicates his life to us, is the common work of the three divine persons of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This reality reveals both what is proper to the divine persons and their one divine nature.
The Divine Economy reveals the unique role of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in bringing about God's plan for the world, while also operating as one and the same operation. It showcases the beauty and simplicity yet mystery of God’s work in the world.
Father Mike encourages everyone to pray for one another, asking for peace and the Father's love through the Holy Spirit.
