Mystagogy Liturgy & Sacraments VI

Fr. Corbon gives a concise and beautiful explanation of the Holy Trinity.

“Yes, the mysterious river of divine communion is an outpouring of love among the Three, and in it eternal life consists. Each Person is a gift and acceptance of gift, never varying yet not motionless; each is an elan (energy, style, and enthusiasm) that is enamored of the Other but in pure transparency; each is a joy given gratuitously and accepted freely. To this communion, with its ebb and flow, to this rhythm of love from which love overflows, no living being can draw near unless the veil of mortality is rent asunder. The human heart cannot contain this inexpressible joy as long as the last attachment to “self” has not been severed.” (Mary’s dormition, our assertion that she died of love, when the soul is detached from the body, death is the result. She was able to enter into this inexpressible joy of the Holy Trinity).
