1) Here is a very interesting
description of our psychological participation in the life of the
Trinity.
From Book II, of St.Hilary on The Trinity
II, 2. But the errors of heretics and
blasphemers force us to deal with unlawful matters, to scale perilous
heights, to speak unutterable words, to trespass on forbidden ground. Faith
ought in silence to fulfill the commandments, worshipping the Father,
reverencing with Him the Son, abounding in the Holy Ghost, but we must
strain the poor resources of our language to express thoughts too great for
words. The error of others compels us to err in daring to embody in human
terms truths which ought to be hidden in the silent veneration of the heart.

2) The Didache,
Didach
THE
DOCTRINE OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES
Summary below is Abstracted from:
The
Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles (Didach twu
dwdeka apostolwn), frequently called
also by the shorter name of Didache, was not entirely unknown when the
complete text was first discovered. The Epistle of Pseudo-Barnabas, Clement
of Alexandria, Origen, the author of the Apostolic Constitutions, and others
had quoted it or embodied fragments of it in their works. St. Athanasius had
even mentioned it expressly by its title, the "Doctrine of the Apostles."
The treatise was very popular in the early Church; some looked upon it even
as an inspired book.[2] But the complete original text was discovered only
in 1873, by Philotheos Bryennios in the Codex Hierosolymitanus, which
dates from 1056. The editio princeps appeared in 1883. It has since been
followed by many others. Besides the original Greek, there exist also a
Latin version of the first six chapters[3] and a few fragments from an
Arabic translation.[4] Quotations in the Adversus Aleatores and by
St. Optatus prove that there must have existed, as early as the IInd
century, a Latin version, dif- ferent from the one we possess now, which
contained the whole work.
