DISCUSSION OUTLINE FOR A MAP OF LIFE Ghost a matter of revelation? Whence have we knowledge of it? What is St. Thomas’s explanation? Does God act upon His creatures in His Unity or in His Trinity? (Is the Trinity present in the tabernacle?) What warrant have we for associating certain actions with certain Persons of the Trinity? Explain the principle of this “appropriation”. Does the mystery of the Trinity disappear with the consideration of these elements that God has revealed of His own innermost life? How does the mystery become an invitation to the mind? What freedom is given the mind through the knowledge gained from the revelation? Give examples of the richness that comes into our contemplation of human nature through the knowledge gained from the revelation. Practice: Read the story of John’s baptism of our Lord (Matt. 3:21,22), and meditate upon this first manifestation of the Trinity to humanity. 166
