"This is the Catholic Faith: We worhip on God in the Trinity and the Trinity in unity." These words of the Creed of Athanasius exemplify the centrality of the Trinity to the teaching, life and worship of the Church as the "light that enlightens" all of the mysteries of faith (CCC 234). In response this course begins with an in-depth exploration of the dogma of the Trinity and biblical, historical and doctrinal foundations of Trinitarian faith.

According to Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Liturgy is "a sacred action surpassing all others," which "no other action of the Church can be equal" in its efficacy, and the sacraments are "God's masterpieces" (CCC 1070, 1091). In this course, students will explore the celebration of the Christian mystery as embodied in the liturgy of the Mass and the sacraments of the Church. By studying the origiins of worship in the Tabernacle of Moses, the Temple of Solomon, and the liturgy of the early Church, students will gain a deepened understanding of the liturgical dimension of Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection and our participation in it by means of the sacraments. Particular emphasis will also be given to the liturgical restoration inaugurated by the Second Vatican Council and the controversies that followed in its wake. The overarching goal will be to gain a more biblical, Christological, and Trinitarian understanding of what takes place in the Mass and through sacraments.
