The Concept of Holy Trinity

Holy Trinity is one Being with three Persons 

But wait, how does that work?

The Holy Trinity is one of the biggest mysteries of our faith. Let's break it down in a way that makes sense.

Being vs. Person

Think about yourself for a moment. What are you? You are a human being. That’s your "Being."

Now, who are you? That’s your "Person." You have a name, a personality, and a unique identity. 

For example, I am a human being, and my name is Beena Emerson.

Each one of us one being and one person. That’s how humans work.

But God is not human—He is God. And God is different from us! He is one Being (God) but exists as three distinct Persons:

  • God the Father
  • God the Son (Jesus Christ)
  • God the Holy Spirit

This is where things get tricky for our human minds to understand. We try to find examples of the Trinity in nature, like water (which can be ice, liquid, or steam) or a three-leaf clover. 

But none of these examples fully explain God. Why?

Because 

God is beyond anything in this world!

The Bible even tells us that we can’t handle seeing God’s full glory:

“But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” -- Exodus 33:20

Imagine picking up a seashell at the beach. Can that tiny shell hold the entire ocean inside it? No way! The ocean is too big and powerful.

In the same way, our human brains cannot fully contain the greatness of God. He is too vast, too holy, and too amazing for us to completely understand right now.

So, if you ever feel confused about the Trinity, don’t worry! It’s okay not to fully understand God—He is bigger than our understanding. Instead of trying to fit Him into a box, we should:

  • Praise Him for being so awesome
  • Trust Him even when we don’t fully understand
  • Ask Him to reveal Himself to us little by little

And one day, when we meet Him in Heaven, we will see Him fully and understand everything!

Until then, keep seeking God, and He will guide you. The more you know Him, the more you will love Him!

Basic Rosary Prayers (Tamil and English)

Sign of the Cross In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. பிதா, சுதன், பரிசுத்த ஆவியின் பெயராலே ஆமென். Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth, பரலோகத்தையும் பூலோகத்தையும் படைத்த எல்லாம் வல்ல பிதாவாகிய சர்வேசுரனை விசுவசிக்கிறேன். and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, அவருடைய ஏக சுதனாகிய நம்முடைய நாதர் இயேசு கிறிஸ்துவையும் விசுவசிக்கிறேன்.who was  conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, இவர் பரிசுத்த ஆவியினால் கர்ப்பமாய் உற்பவித்து அர்ச்சிஷ்ட கன்னிமரியாயிடமிருந்து பிறந்தார். suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. போஞ்சு பிலாத்தின் அதிகாரத்தில் பாடுபட்டு, சிலுவையில் அறையுண்டு, மரித்து அடக்கம் செய்யப்பட்டார். He descended to hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; பாதாளத்தில் இறங்கி மூன்றாம் நாள் மரித்தோரிடமிருந்து உயிர்த்தெழுந்தார். He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; பரலோகத்திற்கு எழுந்தருளி...

Sacrifice vs Choice: My Journey with Jesus

When I first started seriously thinking about becoming a disciple of Jesus, I’ll be honest I braced myself for the sacrifices . I thought following Him meant giving up a lot of things I loved, or at least things that felt really important to me at the time. You know that feeling when someone tells you, “It’s going to be hard, but it’s worth it”? That’s kind of what I expected. Like I’d be constantly battling my desires, trying to be “holy enough,” and saying painful goodbyes to people, habits, or parts of myself. But here’s what actually happened: once I made the change... it didn’t feel like sacrifice at all. Sounds weird, right? Let me explain.  “Sacrifice” means giving up something you really want, something that matters to you. But now, as I grow in my Catholic journey, I’ve noticed my wants have started to change. My priorities have shifted.  What I truly desire most now is to be close to Jesus. And when that becomes your top priority, a lot of the other stuff that...

Psalm 112: The Storms of Praise, Blame and Silence!

6 For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered for ever. 7 He is not afraid of evil tidings; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.   So, as I was scrolling through Linkedin and a quote just jumped out and grabbed me. It went something like this: "Just such a solid rock is not shaken by the storm, even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame." Whoa. It was like a sudden jolt of understanding. Because let's be honest, that whole "unaffected by praise or blame" thing is about as achievable as telepoting to my next Mass.  My heart? It's more like a little sailboat on a very choppy sea. A bit of praise comes along, the sails fill, and I'm soaring! "Oh, they noticed ! They approved ! I must be doing something right!" Cue the happy dance, maybe a little internal pat on the back. Then comes the blame. Wham! A rogue wave hits. The little sailboat is tossed about, taking on water. Doubt creeps in. "Am I really that bad? Di...
