Peace to all,
Hi Cade_One I have not read any of those books, but have googled info in the past about them. Good question though.
Thanks for the post on the Didache Literalman, and as I was reading I noticed perhaps The Naming convention for the Trinity perhaps came from the book, what do you think?
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our Life, our Sweetness, and our hope. To thee we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us, the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us O Holy Mother of God, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.
I have read most of Writings of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta who is considered a mystic and have come to a conclusion with the logic Louisa was trying to resolve but could not finish her work in the Kingdom of the Divine Will.
Here I am, O most sweet Mama, prostrate before You. Today is the first day of the month of May, consecrated to You, in which all your children want to offer You their little flowers to prove to You their love, and to bind your love to love them; and I see You as though descending from the Celestial Fatherland, attended by angelic cohorts, to receive the beautiful roses, the humble violets, the chaste lilies of your children, and requite them with your smiles of love, your graces and blessings. And pressing the gifts of your children to your maternal womb, You bring them with You to Heaven, to keep them as pledges and crowns for the moment of their death.
The Didache speaks of the Sacraments from death to life Baptism and The Eucharist and was originlally writen in Egyptian.
The Didache is only about 2200 words and full of information.
To me the Holy Spirit fits well and somewhat confirmed in the Didache defined logically as a Family of God Preexisting, to me.
The Trinity naming convention seems to be from the Didache, to me.
Where did the names of the persons in the Trinity come from?
Contemporaneous Existence: Tertullian’s apostolic work was around the time the Didache was being written and circulated (mid-late first century).
- Shared Emphasis: Tertullian’s writings, particularly concerning the Lord’s Prayer, align with the emphasis placed on it in the Didache as a customary prayer within the early Church.
- Potential Influence: It’s probable that Tertullian’s thoughts on certain matters, particularly liturgical practices like baptism and the Eucharist, were influenced by the Didache, [according to Christianity Stack Exchange]
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the [love of God] of the Holy Spirit be with you all”

Mary, The Advocate, left behind from the cross, “Ecce Mater tua”, to me.
Peace always,
