The Source of All Bliss and All Joy

In the Trinity, the ultimate depths of the real and the whole mystery of existence are revealed to us. The Trinity is the principal and the origin of creation and redemption. Ultimately all things are borne back to it in the mystery of worship and adoration. Above all else, it is what gives substance to all things: everything else flows from it or tends toward it. In the light of the Trinity, we discover our true selves. For the essential conversion is the one that leads us from the visible world with its external temptations to the invisible world which is at once supremely real, since it constitutes the ultimate basis of all reality, and supremely holy and admirable, since it is the source of all bliss and all joy.
