de ar PAD Rf, The Church teaclrcs that tfu Fathtr, Son, and Holy Spirit are one being, but you'd neuer know it to read tlte Bible or hcar our prdyers. Jesus talks to God ("Father, forgiue thrm, tltzy know not what tley do"). Some of our prayers addressJesus, while others address God or tLrc Holy Spirit separately. Can you explain this?

of Christ,

'we've wrestled with the 'With interrelation of Je-sus, the Father, and the Spirit. time and the Spirit's guidance, the Church has discovered language we believe reflects some of the mystery we call God, and we've accepted the authority of that language.

When we pray the Nicene Creed together every wee[ we speak of our belief in one God in three persons.

However, even as we say these words, we know we have more to discover about the life of the Godhead and the unity and relationships among Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, whom we have encountered throughout our history.

In believing that the one God is revealed to us by Christ as a Trinity, we have the freedom to confidently pray to any one person of the Trinity.

However, when we pray at Mass, you'll notice the most typical formula for prayers is to offer them lo the Father througlrthe Son, inthe Spirit.

Since the time
