The primary manifestation of the Trinity is the figure of Christ in its mysteries. Trinitarian faith is not the result of a subtle articulation between unity and plurality; but of a meditation on Jesus’ relation to his Father and their common Spirit. That is the first thesis of this book, and it can be verified by exploring the Trinitarian signification of the mysteries of Christ in the writings of two great masters. Firstly, for Thomas Aquinas, the Trinity is the key to the interpretation and the horizon of comprehension of the ‘vita Christi’; secondly, for Hans Urs von Balthasar, the figure of Christ and its mysteries are the lieu, par excellence, of the revelation of God’s ‘Triunity’. Yet a problematic arises: when the Father, the Son and the Spirit act in harmony, how can we maintain at the same time their specificity and their profound operational unity? Thomas Aquinas, faithful to the classic principle of unity ‘ad extra’, essentially underlines unity, but has difficulty defining the specificity of persons. Balthasar highlights the distinctions revealed in the mysteries, without seeking to determine in that economy a unity of an intra-divine nature. That is why the author proposes a ‘theology of the mysteries of Christ’, founded on a philosophical elaboration of the revelation as an eruption, an innovation in keeping with the singularity and the contingency of mysteries. So, Trinitarian theology could and must flow from the action of divine beings as present in the life of Christ, without varying by so much as an inch. Yet we must comfort the pole of unity by working the principle of unity ‘ad extra’ scripturally, historically and theologically in order to propose a new formulation that respects distinction within unity. Only then is it possible to think, even as far as its action, the triunity of God. In this innovating book, Father Vetö rises to the challenge of dialoguing with a medieval Master to practice authentic contemporary theology. His wish: that the 21st century should see renewed dialogue with the great medieval masters, just as the 20th century saw the rediscovery of the Fathers.
