Reflection: The Catechism Explained By Stories and Examples

by Fr. Francis Spirago
Third Lesson: On The Unity And Trinity of God

Question: Is the Father God?
Answer: The Father is God, and the first Person of the Blessed Trinity.

 

The Peasant and the Prince: A peasant proprietor had lost all that he possessed through a fire. Hamricks and barns were burned down, and as nothing was insured, the man was reduced to beggary. One day by his wife’s advice he went to ask help from a nobleman who had a mansion in the vicinity and who was known to be very generous toward the poor. The man intended to tell him of the misfortune that had befallen him, and ask for an alms. But when he got near the house, an unaccountable timidity took possession of him. He felt shy of entering the prince’s presence, not knowing by what title to address him. Was he to say, “Your Grace,” or “Your Excellency,” or “My Lord?” He went over all the titles he could think of, but could not decide which was the correct one. At last he was so afraid of offending the nobleman by addressing him by the wrong title, that he turned away from the door and went back home. On his way he passed a church and went in. Kneeling down he devoutly said an Our Father, entreating God to assist him in his distress. As he prayed, the thought came into his mind: how simple is the title we give almighty God. When one speaks to Him one does not feel shy or embarrassed. And again, as he walked home, he repeated the Our Father. On reaching his own house he found to his delight that the assistance he had implored of God had already been granted to him. His wife handed him a considerable sum of money, a collection to which the nobleman had largely contributed.
 

Question: Is the Son God?
Answer: The Son is God and the second Person of the Blessed Trinity.

 

The Death of Arius: About three hundred years after the time of Our Lord, Arius, a priest of Constantinople, began to teach that Christ was not God. He gained many followers, but he and his heresy were condemned in the Council of Nicaea. Later, however, the Emperor Constantine espoused his cause and ordered the bishop of Constantinople to restore him to the communion of the Church. The bishop was helpless, and could only beg God to avert such a scandal. Nor did God refuse his petition. When Arius with his followers came in joyful procession to the cathedral door, the heretic was suddenly seized with dreadful spasms, and having fled to a private room for relief, he remained so long that his friends went in search of him. They found him in the closet, livid and dead, the floor strewn with his blood and intestines. His body had burst asunder like that of the traitor Judas.
