  Abstract:  The relationships of the Holy Trinity’s Persons reveal a unitary manifestation of divine life. The Father’s Trinitarian monarchy in communion love, shown through the birth of the Son and the proceeding of the Holy Spirit from His Being, is the origin of the Christian mission and offers a model of the Christian life. Eternal Love of the Holy Trinity is manifested as an opening of the divine life to the human persons. This Trinitarian love represents the dynamic content of the Christian mission and it’s revealed by sending of the Son and of the Holy Spirit by Father in the human world. These acts of God are the basis and starting point of the Christian mission. The Love of the Father and of the Son in the unity of the Holy Spirit is the source and goal of the unity which the Triune God wills for all men and creation. The very purpose of the Christian mission was to reveal to the world not only the love of God, but also God’s love for the whole creation, and to inaugurate its participation in the eternal life of God. For the Orthodox faith, the Holy Trinity communion is the source, the content, the starting point and the ultimate goal of the mission in the world.
