Trinitarian Life Home

All ecclesial communities are called to build the spirituality of communion as well as to promote the art of prayer and to help their members to grow in it. This call is parallel to their unique charisms. VTEP will complement, enrich and empower their mission to be more fruitful and lead them to work in communion with all other members in the Church. There is to be a deeper and more perfect unity among, associations, movements, religious orders, church staff and priests, thereby making "The Church, the home and the school of communion . . . this is the great challenge facing us in the millennium which is now beginning, if we wish to be faithful to God's plan and respond to the world's deepest yearnings." (Pope John Paul II, Novo Millenium Ineunte, 43) . The commitment of the church leaders is very important. They are responsible to lead others to holiness as well for their own sanctification. Leaders must commit themselves to intensifying their prayer life, thus enabling them to be equipped for their mission. Such leaders will be true models of sanctity and unity for the members of their respective groups, and for the “greater Church.”. They will be models of communion and prayer. These Trinitarians will strengthen all ecclesiastical communities, leading them to work together for the Kingdom of God in perfect harmony and unity. Extraordinary fruits will be the sign, “you will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:20) “Through the apostolic ministry, the Church, community assembled by the Son of God made flesh, will live throughout time, building and nourishing communion in Christ and in the Spirit, to which all are called and in which they can experience the salvation given by the Father.” (Benedict XVI, General Audience - March 29, 2006) The “Vitae Trinitariae Ecclesial Plan” started contemplating the actual reality of the Mystical Body of Christ; the Divine part (Head) unites us and the human part (body) divides us. VTEP experienced the relationship between the “Whole Christ”, Head and body- and the relationship between the members of the body of Christ. Our reality leads us to see the Mystery of unity present in The Most Blessed Trinity, three in one, with out any division. Three different persons with a different course of action or mission but each one of them appointing to the other person in perfect harmony. A perfect relationship for the salvation of the souls. The communion existing within the Trinity should be alive in the Church with all expressions and circumstances of our life. The Trinitarian Life is the living mystery of the unity of the Most Holy Trinity present in the world; it is our encounter, our gathering in love with God and ALL our brothers. The Trinitarian Life leads us to make a reality the prayer of Jesus to the Father" “I pray that they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me." John 17:20-21 “The concept of communion(koinonia) is without doubt the key concept for interpreting the ecclesiology of Vatican II. Koinonia is the transcendent innovation of the Council”. Tony Hanna, New Ecclesial Movements) “The idea of communion as participation in the Trinitarian life is illuminated with particular intensity in John's Gospel, where the communion of love that unites the Son with the Father and with men is at the same time the model and source of fraternal union, which must unite disciples among themselves: "love one another as I have loved you" (John 15:12; cf. 13:34). "That they also may be in us" (John 17:21,22), hence, communion of people with the Trinitarian God and communion of people among themselves. During the time of the earthly pilgrimage, through communion with the Son, the disciple can already participate in his divine life and in that of the Father: "our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ" (1 John 1:3). This life of communion with God and among ourselves is the very end of the object of the proclamation of the Gospel, the object of conversion to Christianity: "that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us" (1 John 1:3). Therefore, this double communion with God and among ourselves is inseparable.” (Benedict XVI, General Audience - March 29, 2006) “To be responsible for the gift of communion means, first of all, to be committed to overcoming each temptation to division and opposition that works against the Christian life with its responsibility in the apostolate. The cry of Saint Paul continues to resound as a reproach to those who are ‘wounding the Body of Christ’: ‘What I mean is that each one of you says, 'I belong to Paul', or 'I belong to Cephas', or 'I belong to Christ!' Is Christ divided?’ (1 Cor 1: 12-13). No, rather let these words of the apostle sound a persuasive call: ‘I appeal to you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree and that there be no dissensions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment’ (1 Cor 1 :10). “Thus the life of Church communion will become a sign for all the world and a compelling force that will lead persons to faith in Christ: ‘that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me’ (Jn 17:21). In such a way communion leads to mission, and mission itself to communion." (John Paul II Christifideles Laici)guiding principle of education wherever individuals and Christians are formed, wherever ministers of the altar, consecrated persons, and pastoral workers are trained, wherever families and communities are being built up.

	The People of God Strengthening Communion on Earth
	Trinitarian Life Ecclesial Plan becomes one with Jesus’ desire on Holy Thursday as He prayed to the Father for communion. "I pray that they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me." John 17:20-21 The “Vitae Trinitariae Ecclesial Plan” (VTEP) comes from the desire of priests, deacons, religious orders, leaders and members of different associations and movements in the Archdiocese of Atlanta, who are committed to live and promote the spirituality of communion, strengthening communion on earth. “A spirituality of communion indicates above all the heart's contemplation of the mystery of the Trinity dwelling in us, and whose light we must also be able to see shining on the face of the brothers and sisters around us.” (Pope John Paul II in Novo Millenium Ineunte. 43)
Learning to Pray the Liturgy of the Hours	Vitae Trinitariae was consecrated to Holy Mary of Guadalupe by Archbishop Emeritus John F. Donoghue. The Trinitarian Life Ecclesial Plan structure follows the direction of Pope John Paul II, as stated in Novo Millenium Ineunte: “The new century will have to see us more than ever intent on valuing and developing the forums and structures which, in accordance with the Second Vatican Council’s major directives, serve to ensure and safeguard communion. (44) Before making practical plans, we need to promote a spirituality of communion, making it the guiding principle of education wherever individuals and Christians are formed, wherever ministers of the altar, consecrated persons, and pastoral workers are trained, wherever families and communities are being built up. ( . . .) Communion must be cultivated and extended day by day and at every level in the structures of each Church’s life. There, relations between Bishops, priests and deacons, between Pastors and the entire People of God, between clergy and Religious, between associations and ecclesial movements must all be clearly characterized by communion. (45) ( . . . ) [Making] the Church the home and the school of communion, is the great challenge facing us in the millennium which is now beginning, if we wish to be faithful to God’s plan and respond to the world’s deepest yearnings.” (43 in Novo Millenium Ineunte).
