| Guercino, "The Holy Trinity" |
Today is Trinity Sunday, on which we commemorate the unique and absolutely necessary Christian doctrine that God is simultaneously One and Three. The word “Trinity” is the Anglicized form of the Latin Trinitas, which was coined by Tertullian in the early third century. It is a combination of the prefix tri- (three) and unitas (unity). I once took a class from a gentleman who was fond of saying that it’s almost impossible to discuss the Trinity in detail without falling into heresy. I’m sure he was only half-serious, although if you’ve ever wondered why Tertullian isn’t “Saint” Tertullian, well, he fell into heresy later in life . . . but I'm sure that's just a coincidence.
Perhaps because the Trinity is such a deep concept, there aren't a lot of Trinitarian hymns (certainly not on YouTube, anyway), but here's an old favorite, in a beautiful video created by JMJ HF videos. I have included information about the group, which relies on charitable donations, beneath the video. Please take a look.
From the website of the St. Vincent Ferrer Foundation of Texas:
The St. Vincent Ferrer Foundation of Texas was founded by Catholic laity to spread, promote, and foster the practice of traditional Catholicism with a focus on the Traditional Latin Mass. We promote fidelity to the immutable teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and her perennial Magisterium in doctrine, morals, sacred liturgy, and all facets of Catholic life. Our goal is to help Catholics recover the beauty, majesty, and truth of the glorious Catholic Faith. May our humble efforts in cooperation with God's manifold grace help individuals, families and society restore all things in Christ
