Ancient Languages/Tatoo

Question
Well, I am thinking of getting a tatoo with the words Father, son and Holy spirit on it. The online translations suggest many words, but the three I fancy are Abbas, Filius, and Flamen,  would those be a decent translation?  Thank you for your help!

Answer
Hello,

The correct translation for "Father, Son and Holy Spirit” is:

“Pater, Filius et Spiritus Sanctus”.

Please note that :
-PATER is ‘father'.
-FILIUS is ‘son'.
-ET is ‘and'.
-SPIRITUS is ‘spirit'.
-SANCTUS is ‘holy'.

Sincerely
Maria
