St. Arnold Janssen (1837-1909) is considered a pioneer of the modern missionary movement in the German, Dutch and Slavic-speaking countries in the 19th century. He was the Founder of the three religious-missionary congregations in Steyl – male congregation Society of the Divine Word (SVD) in 1875, active female congregation Servants of the Holy Spirit (SSpS) in 1889 and contemplative female congregation Servants of the Holy Spirit of Perpetual Adoration (SSpSAP) in 1896. The spiritual and missionary direction of his life is based on the mystery of the Holy Trinity. This article describes how he lived his relationship with the Holy Trinity in prayer connected to mission and enlightened in mission. Three fundamental points are then presented: the spiritual life of Saint Arnold, the Trinitarian devotion that penetrated the whole of his life, and his tireless Trinitarian apostolate.
