Paragraph 2. THE FATHER
258
The whole divine economy is the common work of the three divine persons. For as
the Trinity has only one and the same natures so too does it have only one and
the same operation: “The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are not three
principles of creation but one principle.”97 However, each divine
person performs the common work according to his unique personal property. Thus
the Church confesses, following the New Testament, “one God and Father
from whom all things are, and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things
are, and one Holy Spirit in whom all things are”.98 It is above
all the divine missions of the Son’s Incarnation and the gift of the Holy
Spirit that show forth the properties of the divine persons.
