The New Saint Joseph
First Communion Catechism

Lesson 3
The Blessed Trinity
The Unity and Trinity of God


10. Is there only one God?
Yes, there is only one God.
There cannot be more than one God.
There never will be more than one God.

11. How many persons are there in God?
In God there are three Persons-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

The Father is God.
The Son is God.
The Holy Ghost is God.
But they are all ONE GOD.

The Father is the First Person.
The Son is the Second Person.
The Holy Ghost is the Third Person.
There are THREE PERSONS in ONE GOD.

12. What do we call the three Persons in one God?
We call the three Persons in one God the Blessed Trinity.

The Father is God.
The Son is God.
The Holy Ghost is God.
All THREE PERSONS are ONE GOD.
We call them the BLESSED TRINITY.
We PICTURE God the Father as a kind Father.
But He is really a Spirit.
We cannot see a spirit.
It is easy to PICTURE God the Son
because He really became man.

We PICTURE God the Holy Ghost as a dove.
He too is really a Spirit.
We also call Him the Holy Spirit.
All three Persons are equal.


13. How do we know that there are three Persons in one God?
We know that there are three Persons in one God because we have God’s word for it.

The Father sent His Son to us on earth.
The Son told us what the Blessed Trinity is like.
The Blessed Trinity is God’s family.
It is a family which is all one God.

In this family all is love.
They never fight.
They always agree.
They are always happy.




Say this prayer often.

O God, make my family holy.
