The “door of faith” (Acts 14:27) is always open for us, ushering us into
the life of communion with God and offering entry into His Church. It is
possible to cross that threshold when the word of God is proclaimed and the
heart allows itself to be shaped by transforming grace. To enter through that
door is to set out on a journey that lasts a lifetime. It begins with baptism
(cf. Rom 6:4), through which we can address God as Father, and it ends
with the passage through death to eternal life, fruit of the resurrection of the
Lord Jesus, whose will it was, by the gift of the Holy Spirit, to draw those who
believe in Him into His own glory (cf. Jn 17:22). To profess faith in the
Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is to believe in one God who is Love
(cf. 1 Jn 4:8): the Father, who in the fullness of time sent His Son for
our salvation; Jesus Christ, who in the mystery of His death and resurrection
redeemed the world; the Holy Spirit, who leads the Church across the centuries
as we await the Lord’s glorious return.
