St. Gregory Palamas uses a triangle to show how something can be one and three at the same time.

God is ONE GOD in His Essence. The Three Persons are Who God is, they are called the Energies and they are all of the same Essence as each other, i.e. they are each essentially God. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Very wrong. Energy isn’t the same as person. Energy and will are properties of nature. Meaning they’re applied to persons universally. For example. All human beings have a will. The will isn’t a property of person, if it was then it would be likely that not all human beings have a will. However, we all do. It’s a universal property. Same with energy. The way energy and will are actualized (carried out), varies from person to person as we don’t share one unified existence or essence. Essence or nature, in other words is an active inner principle that allows a person (hypostasis) to operate as it should according to what that person is. God in short, is one Essence in three hypostases. The Father’s hypostatic distinction is that He is unbegotten. He isn’t caused but is the cause and the Arche of the Trinity. He begets the Son and processes the Holy Spirit. Both Son and Holy Spirit are co-eternal with the Father and have always been. For one cannot be Father without a Son. The mode of existence (not modalism) for the Son is in His begotteness of the Father, and for the Holy Spirit, it is in His procession from the Father. Begetting and Proceeding are the ways in which the Father communicates His essence to other two persons (hypostases). Because nature (essence) is the inner active principle that makes something what it is, and the divine essence is communicated to the Son and the Holy Spirit, means that they are truly of one essence with the Father. Thus they have the same divine will and the same divine energies (operations), which are enacted by each of the divine hypostases. The Father wills for there to be light, the Son goes forth and makes light and the Holy Spirit in turn gives life or animates what the Father has created. Triangles and apples can only go so far as to illustrate this and both run the risk of a fall into the heresy of modalism.

You cannot refer to the Holy Trinity as “they”. God is one, the Holy Trinity is one.

So it sounds like God has 3 distinct roles right?
