“When He established the heavens, I was there.” ––Proverbs 8:27 Where is the word Trinity in the Bible? You won’t find it! The Trinity is a mystery revealed by God and handed on to us through Sacred Tradition (see Catechism of the Catholic Church, 78, 234). Jesus provides trinitarian clues in the Bible. “If you love Me and obey the commands I give you, I will ask the Father and He will give you another Paraclete — to be with you always: the Spirit of truth, Whom the world cannot accept, since it neither sees Him nor recognizes Him; but...

“Then Barnabas went off to Tarsus to look for Saul.” –Acts 11:25 It was no small task for St. Barnabas to go to Tarsus and “look for Saul” (Acts 11:25).

Thus, we refer to Mary under the titles of Mother of God and Mother of the Church. In the upper room, Mary had to choose reconciliation with the apostles. Peter denied...
