Trinitarian action
English In his Trinitarian theology, Thomas Aquinas teaches that God's creative and salvific action is common to the entire Trinity. But in this common action, each divine person acts in a distinct manner according to his personal property. Thus, for Thomas Aquinas, there is a mode of action proper to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This distinct mode, which accounts for the personal dimension of Trinitarian action and grounds the value of appropriations, corresponds to the mode of being proper to each person, that is, to their personal relation.
