The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion
The benediction proves the Divine Trinity in unity. "The grace of ... Christ" comes first, for only by it we come to "the love of God" the Father (John 14:6). God was first revealed to man in Christ (John 1:18). The variety in the order of Persons proves that 'in this Trinity none is afore or after other' ('Athanasian Creed').
Communion - joint fellowship or participation in the same Holy Spirit, which joins in one Catholic Church, His temple, Jews and Gentiles. Whoever has 'the fellowship of the Holy Spirit' has also 'the grace of our Lord Jesus,' and "the love of God," and vice versa; for the three are inseparable, as the three Persons of the Trinity, The doctrine was not revealed fully until Christ came, and the whole scheme of redemption was manifested in Him: we know the Holy Three in One more in their relations to us (set forth summarily in this benediction) than in their mutual relations to one another (Deuteronomy 29:29). Amen. So C Delta f, Vulgate. Omitted in 'Aleph (') A B G g. Probably added subsequently for the exigencies of public, worship.
