We Sure Are Good At Messing Up The Trinity

Maybe you'd like to explain that.

And this ...

The Word (i.e. God) became flesh, i.e. a human (i.e. Jesus).

This was accomplished via the union of ...
His "father" (the Holy Spirit, i.e. God)
and
His mother (Mary, wife of Joseph).

Methinks, there are 3 involved here!

Please, no one say the Word was/is the Holy Spirit.

Jesus' father isn't the Holy Spirit.

Jesus, as it pertains to His human nature, His biology, has no father. Only a mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mary conceived the Eternal Word in her womb by the power of the Holy Spirit. Mary is the virgin mother of the Lord.

The Incarnation is the truth that the Eternal Son and Word, the only-begotten of the Father, united to Himself human nature, by being conceived and born of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. And thus God became man.

He did not cease to be God, for what He was from all eternity, the Son and Word of the Father, consubstantial with the Father, and thus truly God He continued to be. What He became, by the union of humanity to the Deity, is truly human.

Thus, fully God and fully human, without separation and without confusion: one Christ, Lord, Son, only-begotten Divine Word.

The Word did not occupy a human person; the Person of the Word became human. Thus there is only the one undivided Person of the Word, Jesus Christ, both God and man in Hypostatic Union. It is the Word who personalizes the humanity (Enhypostasis), thus there is only and ever only one Hypostasis, one Person: Jesus Christ, the Word of God, the eternal and only-begotten Son.
