God created every man and all mankind, in his image and likeness, and God is perfect unity and perfect communion in the love of three Persons: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The fact that he created man in his own image and likeness, in fact, means that he called him to live, to the extent possible, the divine way of existence, unity and community of different persons, and to make such a way of life his own reality in time and eternity. .
