LA DIMENSIONE TRINITARIA E LA SACRAMENTOLOGIA

To speak about the Church is to inevitably speak about the Sacraments.

For it is in the Sacraments that graces are able to flow from the threshold of God
to us his people. These are better understood through her celebration of the
liturgy which is the official public worship rendered by the people as a form of
praise and thanksgiving to the Triune God.
Particularly, it is in the Sacraments that we are given tangible signs of the
Holy Trinity which are at work through these sacred mysteries of the Church.
We are able to see the reflection of the Triune God through them, for they had
revealed themselves from the beginning of creation. From time immemorial,
they are liturgy itself and their liturgy is a total Kenosis of one and the other.
The Father as the first executor of the liturgy himself created man, giving and
offering him his own image and likeness as his first Kenosis. In the fullness of
time he offered his Son for the salvation of man. Through God's self-offering,
he ratified the new covenant with us, his adopted children through Jesus Christ.
The work of the Trinity continues to overflow through the Kenosis of the Holy
Spirit who has given and offered the Church the fire of his divine love which
strengthens and saves. Through the Holy Spirit the incarnation of Christ is
continuously at work in the Church as they offer the liturgy to the glory of God
the Father.
The image of the Trinity extends towards the family, the Domestic
Church, which in their everyday life offer to God their very own liturgy by
which the sacraments become definitely alive and continue to give life through
the kenosis of each members of the Christian Family. Through the sacraments
they have received, more than grace, the seal of the image of the God, who they
are called to imitate in their unity in diversity. In this imprint and refletion, we
can point out and verify what some philosophers taught and believed, that each
of us, in our bodies, carries a subjectivity. But we are inevitably caught up with
other person’s subjectivity which makes each of us intersubjective with one
another. That is, like the Holy Trinity, who has three persons in One Godhead,
each of us are called to that great realization in the Church that we are all
inseparable to one another and that we are all related to one and the other.
