The following on the Trinity is from Catherine of Siena (14th century)
And you, high eternal Trinity, acted as if you were drunk with love, infatuated with your creatures. When you saw that this tree could bear no fruit but the fruit of death because it was cut off from you who are life, you came to its rescue with the same love with which you had created it: you engrafted your divinity into the dead tree of our humanity. O sweet tender engrafting! You, sweetness itself, stooped to join yourself with our bitterness.
