A Metaphysical Definition of the Trinity
The Trinity is the singular divine essence subsisting in three hypostases—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each person fully and equally possessing the one, undivided divine nature. The Father is the unbegotten source, the Son is begotten of the Father, and the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. This tri-hypostatic unity is characterized by perichoresis, wherein the distinct persons co-inhere and interpenetrate one another without division or confusion, reflecting a singular dynamic unity that is both absolutely self-sufficient, super-essential, and transcendently active in sustaining creation.
In simpler terms: “Trinity in Unity and Unity in Trinity.”
