Holy Trinity

After preaching in the synagogue in Antioch, Jesus gives James an opportunity to preach. James says, "I am the brother of the Nazarene. My father and his were brothers, born of the same mother. And yet I cannot say that I am his brother, but his servant. Because the paternity of Joseph, my father's brother, was a spiritual paternity and I solemnly tell you that the Most High, we worship, is the true Father of our Master Jesus. God allowed the Second Person of God and Trine to become incarnate and to come upon the earth, remaining however God and always united to the Persons who dwell in Heaven because God, who is infinitely Almighty, can do that. And He does it out of Love, which is His nature. Jesus of Nazareth is our brother, men, because he was born of a woman, and is like us in his humanity. He is our Master because he is the Wise One, he is the very Word of God, being one with the Father and the Holy Spirit, with whom he is always united in love, power and nature." (V. 3, Ch.323, P. 255).

In Volume 3, Chapter 360, Jesus explains to John about the Trinity, "Think of the prophets. They did not leave out one iota in describing my mission. I will be the man described by Isaiah. And the Blood, which I will shed, will fecundate you. But I will not confine myself to that. You are so imperfect and weak, dull and timorous, that I, sitting gloriously beside the Father, will send you the Fire, the Strength that proceeds from my being through generation by the Father and that binds the Father and Son in an indissoluble ring, making Three of One: the Thought, the Blood, the Love. When the Spirit of God, nay, the Spirit of the Spirit of God, the Perfection of Divine Perfections, will come to you, you will no longer be as you are.."

In Volume 4, Chapter 431, Jesus answers the question of Thaddeus about the relationship between him and Virgin Mary. Jesus says that he sees Mary "as sister and as bride, as delight and rest of God and as comfort of Man. I see everything and I have everything in Mary, as God and as Man. She who was the Delight of the Second Person of the Trinity in Heaven, Delight of the Word as well as of the Father and of the Spirit, is the Delight of the God Incarnate, and she will be the Delight of the Man God Glorified." 

After his resurrection Jesus appears to his mother and explains God's mysteries. He says, "I am no longer separated from the Father. You will no longer be separated from you son. And, by having your son, you have our Trinity. A living Heaven, You will bring the Trinity to men on the Earth, and you will sanctify the Church, you, Queen of the Priesthood and Mother of the Christians." (V. 5, Ch. 614, P. 703).

Baptism and Communion

Several times Jesus mentions the importance of baptism and communion. In his last teachings before ascension Jesus said, "Baptize with water in the name of the God, one and Trine, and in my name and through my infinite merits, so that the original sin may be cancelled from hearts, sins my be remitted, grace and the holy virtues may be infused, and the Holy Spirit may descend to dwell in consecrated temples, that is, in the bodies of men living in the grace of the Lord…..Baptize with my baptism, but in the name of the God Trine because really, if the Father had not wanted and the Spirit had not acted, the Word would have not become incarnate and you would have had no redemption. So it is just and fair that every man should receive the Life through those who joined together in wanting to give it to him, mentioning the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the act of Baptism, which takes the name of Christian after me to distinguish it from the others past and future, which will be rites, but not indelible signs on the immortal part." (V. 5, Ch. 631, P. 843). 

"Great is your ministry of judging and absolving in my name! When you consecrate the Bread and Wine for you and make them my Body and my Blood, you will do a great, supernaturally great and sublime thing. In order to accomplish it worthily you must be pure because you will touch Him who is the pure one and you will nourish yourselves with the flesh of a God. You must be pure in your hearts, minds, limbs and tongues because with your hearts you must love the Eucharist, and no profane love is to be mixed with this celestial love, as that would be a sacrilege. Be pure in your minds because you must believe and understand this mystery of love. The impurity of thought kills faith and intellect." (V. 5, Ch. 625, P. 758).

After his resurrection, while the apostles were going along the way of the Cross, Jesus broke bread, gave to his disciples and said, "This is my viaticum for you who are going away. I have already prepared the food there for my pilgrims. Do the same yourselves, in future, with those among you who will be leaving. Be paternal to all the believers. Everything I do, or I make you do, do it yourselves as well. In future, make also the journey to Calvary, meditating and making people meditate on the Stations of the Cross. Contemplate! Do contemplate my sorrows because it is through them, not through the present glory, that I have saved you." (V. 5, Ch. 627, P. 791). 

Before his ascension Jesus conducted the Eucharist several times and asked his apostles to do it in memory of him. This was done at the last supper too.
