This God is a single Being and a loving community, a Trinity of Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are names of goodness, names of gentleness, sweetness and love. Who is more gentle than the Father, who so great, kind and merciful? Who is dearer than Jesus Christ? Our savior is all healing, all goodness, gentleness, sweetness. Who is more loving, dear and holy than the Holy Spirit? He is the love of the Father and the Son, and by him all who are made holy receive sanctification.
A twelfth-century Cistercian
