A testimony

Long ago, i wondered about the feast of our heavenly Father, Creator of all Being.
We have so many feasts, but when is His Day?

It is on the feast of the Holy Trinity, on fathers day. For that is His Glory and it is fulfilled.

Alta Trinita Beata

So hard to translate and even harder to understand, lest explain. If we saw the love in Creation, our hearts would cease to beat for it is full of His Glory, the marvel of His Beauty. His Patience, Mercy and eternal compassion.

Oh My Father
Our Father
I adore you

So kind
So gentle
So mercyful

Patient
Forgiving
Sustaining

O Creator
Of all being
Thy glory transcends in all

And all Creation
Resplendent of Thy Beauty
Refers to Thee

Alta trinità beata 

Most exalted Trinity
Unity adorable
Glorious Trinity
By all exalted
Manna Delightful
By all desired
