April 30, 2010 – Catechism 238-248

There is a lot there that is some very intellectual writing that for the most pat goes over my head.  When you are trying to explain the mystery of the Trinity, I can imagine it is hard to put it into easy words.  There is a lot in there about the Holy Spirit proceeding the Father and Son, or coming from them.  I have heard it explained that the love between the Father and the Son is what brings about the Holy Spirit.  That doesn’t explain it perfectly because that involves a timeline (Father and Son had to exist before Spirit and God is outside of time and eternal), but no metaphor is perfect.
