Episode notes
Trinity United In The Church's Mission
- The Trinity collaborates in building the Church so each Person has a distinct role in the one mission.
- Fr. Matthew explains the Father as source, the Son as Head and High Priest, and the Spirit as regenerating and anointing believers.
Economic Actions Reveal The Inner Trinity
- The economic Trinity (God's external works) reveals the imminent Trinity (internal relations) by attribution.
- Fr. Matthew shows creation and sanctification as works of all three Persons, while attribution to one clarifies their inner relations.
Offer Small Daily Sacrifices
- Offer daily small sacrifices united to Christ as true spiritual offering rather than grand gestures.
- Fr. Matthew lists concrete examples like skipping dessert or getting up for crying children and offering those moments in love.
