Yet, in a fresco painted for Pope Julius II, Raphael chooses to make it much more personal, more real. He depicts the three persons of the Trinity. God is not merely an idea, a first principle, or a mental criteria for moral choosing, but three real divine persons, each one active in your life. A triune God, an eternal explosion of love in which the Father begins by creating you; the Son continues by saving you; and the Holy Spirit consumes their love by inspiring and sanctifying you. Although all things change, God never changes. He is still, the point of the pendulum from which all things hang and are supported. He wisely governs with his one hand lifted in authoritative and assuring purpose. In his other hand, the sphere of the world rests secure. His decisions are not arbitrary, swayed by public opinion, or motivated by insecurity needing affirmation. He is who is. It is we who need him and not the other way around. Yet, his absolute authority doesnʼt convert him into an aloof despot. God lovingly takes interest in everything! Nothing is unimportant from the greatest things on earth to the smallest minutiae of my day. If it is important to me, it is important to him, and his providential hand keeps it all in balance. Fr.
