St Augustine And Catherine LaCugna Flashcards
St Augustine believed love can’t
Exist on it’s own
There must be someone to
Give it and recieve it and the love that unites them
The Trinity can be thought of as
Three persons united in Love
The Father loves
The Son ,The Son loves the Father and the Holy Spirit is the love that unites them.
Catherine LaCugna taught that The Son
Comes from the Father
The eternal love between God the Father and God the Son flows
Outwards into the whole creation
The Son came to Earth as Jesus to bring
Redemption
Save people by
Restoring the relationship with God
The Holy Spirit completes the work of Jesus’ redemption by
Continually guiding believers towards the Father
Once Redemption is complete then
All things will be brought back to God
The Holy Spirit pours into the hearts and lives of
Belivers,sharing God’s love with all people
The Holy Spirit is the love
That unites the father and the son
Love between the father and son outwardly
Flows constantly into the whole creation
The Holy spirit guides
Believers towards the father,to complete the work of Jesus’ redemption
St Augustine said for love to exist there must be three things
The person who loves, the person who is loved and the love that unites them
