Retired Priest and Author, Joseph F. Girzone, in his 2002 book “Trinity: A New Living Spirituality” uses the terms God the Creator, God the Provider and God the Son:

“Andthat is the answer to the restlessness in people’s hearts today. They need to find Godif they are going to find the peace and forgiveness and healing that is so important in our modern world. It was precisely to offer us this peace and this forgiveness and healing that Jesus revealed to us the Holy Trinity. It is the Trinity that works in the inner depths of our souls, drawing us into an ever-sharper awareness of God, and helping us to understand the meaning of our lives.”

  “Our souls are temples of the Trinity,” He then quotes Sister Elizabeth of the Trinity, the modern Carmelite mystic, who once said,

“My soul is a heaven where God dwells. I must learn to live there with him.” [1](Page 101).

“The whole purpose of God’s involvement with the church and with individuals is to mold in each the image of the Son of God. There is no other purpose to God’s involvement in his creation. His interest in us, His children, and in making us all beautiful masterpieces of his creation, replicas of his Son, who is the most perfect Image or Reflection himself.” (Page 127, 28)

NT Wright in his 2020 book, “Broken Signposts: How Christianity makes sense of the world” offers a definition:

Many illustrations have been offered for now the doctrine of the doctrine of the Trinity works. Such illustrations never say everything, but they can sometimes gesture in the right direction. Think for instance, of a vast rain-fed lake high up in the mountains. At the lake’s edge is a deep cleft in the rock through which the water rushes at high speed, pouring down over the cliff to splash onto the rocks hundreds of feet below, then to be dispersed into many new streams, many channels, flowing out to irrigate a wide landscape before eventually returning to the sea. Jesus is the waterfall; the Spirit is the outflowing streams. The Father is the lake, the source, as well as the sea into which the water flows. But the water is all the same water.” [2]

Come Holy Spirit, Come!
