-- Jn 5:17-30
"O blessed light, O Trinity and first
Unity!" God is eternal blessedness, undying life, unfading light. God is
love: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God freely wills to communicate the
glory of his blessed life. Such is the "plan of his loving kindness",
conceived by the Father before the foundation of the world, in his
beloved Son: "He destined us in love to be his sons" and "to be
conformed to the image of his Son", through "the spirit of sonship".
This plan is a "grace [which] was given to us in Christ Jesus before the
ages began", stemming immediately from Trinitarian love. It unfolds in
the work of creation, the whole history of salvation after the fall, and
the missions of the Son and the Spirit, which are continued in the
mission of the Church.
