Paragraph 2. THE FATHER

257
“O blessed light, O Trinity and first Unity!”⁹³ 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”.⁹⁴ This plan is a
“grace [which] was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages
began”, stemming immediately from Trinitarian love.⁹⁵ 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.⁹⁶
