For we are created in the image and likeness of God, and, as the First Letter of John puts it, \u201cGod is love.\u201d But who is this God in whose image we\u2019re created? What difference does it make to say God is a Trinity of Persons? What kind of relationship can we have with the Blessed Trinity? These questions are central to any Christian\u2019s life. In this Retreat Guide on the Blessed Trinity, <em>The Mystery of Eternal Love<\/em>, we\u2019ll contemplate exactly that.<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>In the <strong>First Meditation<\/strong>, we\u2019ll consider what the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches about the Blessed Trinity. We\u2019ll also examine the experience of two friends of God to help guide us deeper into the mystery.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>In the <strong>Second Meditation<\/strong>, we\u2019ll look at the response of Abraham, our father in faith, to the \u201cTheophany\u201d at Mamre in the book of Genesis.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>And finally, the <strong>Conference<\/strong> will explore Saint John Paul II\u2019s teaching on the Trinitarian shape of prayer, helped by one of the greatest icons in Russian history. We\u2019ll draw out some practical applications for our own lives, as we seek to live in the light of this tremendous mystery of love in whose image we are created.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"49n03-0-0\">\r\n<p>We are excited to share with you an improved version of this\u00a0Retreat Guide.
