The one God
Christians confess one God, the source of all that exists, who is faithful, truthful, and loving. God is not one powerful object within the universe. Biblical names reveal a relationship with the living God while reminding us that God exceeds our concepts. Belief in one Creator also grounds the unity of the human family and the goodness of creation.

God's almighty power
God’s almighty power belongs with divine wisdom and love. It does not mean arbitrary behavior or the ability to contradict God’s own goodness. Christians see a surprising revelation of power in the cross and resurrection: God saves through self-giving love. Suffering makes belief in providence difficult; Catholic faith does not reduce that difficulty to a simple explanation for every tragedy.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit
The Trinity is one God in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The persons are not three gods or three temporary roles. The Son is eternally begotten of the Father; the Spirit is eternally God with the Father and Son. Christian prayer and baptism are Trinitarian because salvation draws people into this divine communion.
