Summary/Abstract: Conjugating the Godhead persons communion life ensemble, the Church is an icon of Trinitarian relations, continuing the salvation opera of Its founder, Jesus Christ, essence and finality of personal relation between God and man. Christian life is anchored in Christ and the Holy Spirit, for only in Christ and through the Holy Spirit we can meet and know our Father. Therefore, life in Christ or the spiritual life is nothing but a direct participation at Trinitarian life. The door to this life is opened only by Baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity and we cannot partake of its fullness but through the grace of saints marking their presence in the Church.
