Summary/Abstract: The substance of God is one and the only one, common to the three Persons. In other words, each of the Divine Persons has the same substance. Respectively to this, in one absolute substance, there are three personal characters, and each Person has the same substance, but in a personal aspect in a different way. This article draws attention to the first of the Divine Persons. The substance is one of the five requisite and sufficient elements to define a given being: substance, relation, interior, exterior and activity. The substance and the specific personal characteristic have been emphasized in the present reflection. The substance of God in its Fatherly character (fatherhood) is open to the characteristic of the remaining two Persons in such a way that it gives birth to the Son and the waft/breath of the Holy Spirit. Giving birth and breathing are connected with two different personal features, but they comprise the whole substance.
