Abstract

Trinity, the center of our Faith, manifests love and mercy in human being’s history and relations. Hans Urs von Balthasar’s theology allows a plunge into Trinitarian love, extremely perichoretic, in a kenotic perspective. Balthasar is passionate about the Crucified, the polarizer center of his Trinitarian Theology, visible in history through the Paschal Mystery event. The Passion of Christ reveals the center of salvation economy in the primary Kenosis of triune God. The perichoretic relationship of Trinity in salvific economy permits a loving and merciful mystic. Trinitarian mystery allows a strengthening of faith, turning human relations disseminated by love and merciful practice. As a result, intra-Trinitarian relationship, as understood by Balthasar consents to understanding the hope in the possibility of a world with relationships based in mercy. Perichoretic donation of Trinitarian God is the condition to allows and make it possible merciful relationships to human beings.
