Our Life in the Trinity

The Trinity seeks to share its bliss, its perfect joy with human beings.

This, as revelation has shown us, was the first, the original intention in Creation.

And certainly it was an admirable revelation, completely justifying the existence

of Creation. By this I mean that if God had created beings with souls only to

throw them back into nothingness after suffering them to live for a little while; if

Creation really corresponded only to this earthly life in which we move, then it

would certainly seem unworthy of a scheme inspired by love and wisdom. If this

were the case, atheism would seem the most normal of postures, for Creation

would be like a sort of enormous game in which all creatures would be pawns in

God’s hands, lacking in any worthwhile destiny.

But revelation shows us that the Trinity breathed life into these beings that

surround it and gave them radiance, the world of angels and the world of men,

essentially in order to associate them with its own bliss, to lead them into its own

infinite joy. When we realize this, the origins of Creation seem admirable. So

does its end, since its only origin and only end is love, real love, a completely

disinterested love—for God does not need us, it is we who have need of him.

There is an aspect of absolute gratuitousness in Creation. Its primary source lies

exclusively in this love. Thus we exist only to the extent that we are loved. For

us, in our innermost beings, existing is merely being the condition of an act of

love within the Trinity, which communicates being to us only in order to associ-

ate us in its life.

Cardinal Jean Daniélou, S.J.
