Paragraph 2. THE FATHER
255
The divine persons are relative to one another. Because it does not divide the
divine unity, the real distinction of the persons from one another resides
solely in the relationships which relate them to one another: “In the
relational names of the persons the Father is related to the Son, the Son to
the Father, and the Holy Spirit to both. While they are called three persons in
view of their relations, we believe in one nature or substance.”89
Indeed “everything (in them) is one where there is no opposition of
relationship.”90 “Because of that unity the Father is wholly
in the Son and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Son is wholly in the Father and
wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit is wholly in the Father and wholly
in the Son.”91
