The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

About this episode

Bishop Barron discusses the significance of the Trinity in Catholic faith and its central role in prayer and understanding redemption.

Friends, we’ve come to Trinity Sunday, one of my favorite Sundays of the year. The Trinity is not just a little puzzle for theologians; it’s the heart of the matter, in many ways. Indeed, it’s central to the way we pray: Whenever we make the sign of the cross, we’re invoking the Trinity. It matters that we come to understand this doctrine more plainly, so that we might understand the meaning of our redemption.
