  1. Rublev’s Icon of the Trinity Madge Karecki, SSJ-TOSF--2010

  2. Icon of the Trinity • Icon reveals the inner life of the Trinity, • Marked by a communion that is both centripetal and centrifugal, • The aim is “being with” the Trinity, sharing in communion by being in relationship made possible through baptism. Madge Karecki, SSJ-TOSF--2010

  3. The Father • Clothing a mixture of all colors, only a small sign of divinity…the Father is only fully revealed by the Son, • Holds staff with two hands—all power in heaven and on earth, • House behind him, open windows and doors—sign of God waiting for us—his house is always open. Madge Karecki, SSJ-TOSF--2010

  4. The Holy Spirit • Clothing transparent—divinity shines through, not weighed down by humanity, • Bowed toward the Son while focused on the Father, • Hand on the table…makes holy the sacrificial offering, • Symbol of the mountain—sign of theophanies. Madge Karecki, SSJ-TOSF--2010

  5. The Son • Clothing—humanity and divinity-stripe of kingship, • Two fingers on the table—another sign of two natures, • Inclined toward the Father in attentiveness, ready to do the will of the Father, • Seated across from opening at the table, • Symbol of the tree—the cross as the tree of life. Madge Karecki, SSJ-TOSF--2010

  6. A Sending Community The Father sends the Son as his unique and full revelation, the Son sends the Spirit to create out of all humanity a communion, to continue to extend this communion to people throughout the ages. Madge Karecki, SSJ-TOSF--2010

  7. Church is missionary by her very nature… Christ as the definitive self-revelation of God is the fundamental reason why the Church is missionary by her very nature. She cannot do other than proclaim the Gospel…(RM 5). Madge Karecki, SSJ-TOSF--2010
