Saint Patrick taught the doctrine on the Holy Trinity by using an example from nature, from God's creation. He picked a shamrock (a shamrock is a three leave clover), and made reference to the shamrock, that there are three distinct but equal leaves that are connected to a whole, that is the stem. Father Josephe, used a blanket to symbolize the Holy Trinity; as one may fold the blanket into three folds, it does not negate the fact that it is still one blanket. Another way to look at it, we will take more of a chemist aspect, we will be looking at dihydrogen oxide, H2O. H2O is know to everyone as water, and has three different forms or states in which it can take. These forms are; Solid, Liquid, and Gas. No matter what the state the H2O is in, we may not negate the fact that is it still H2O. It is a single substances which has per se triune forms, states, or we could even say “personalities.” Solid and translucent which is Ice, Liquid and transparent which is Water, and Gas and invisible to eye which is Vapor. It is like the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. For the ice melts, and from the ice water is produces which “proceeds” from the ice —as the Son proceeds from the Father— and the vapor proceeds from both the ice and the water —as the Holy Ghost Proceedth from the Father and the Son— though this is merely an attempt to simplify the apprehension of the Holy Trinity. The Holy Trinity is still beyond the human comprehensive mind, and is impossible for any to fully understand.
