By dying on the Cross - Jesus Christ "gave up his Spirit" - John 19:30 - anticipating the gift of the Holy Spirit that He would make after His Resurrection - cf, John 20:22 - This was to fulfill the promise of "rivers of living water" that could flow out of the hearts of believers, through the outpouring of the Spirit - cf, John 7:38-39 -

The Spirit, in fact, is that interior power which harmonizes their hearts with Christ's heart and moves them to love their brethren as Jesus Christ loved them, when He bent down to wash the feet of the disciples - cf, John 13:1-13 - and above all when He gave His life for us - cf, John 13:1, 15:13 -

The Spirit is also the energy which transforms the heart of the ecclesial community, so that it becomes a witness before the world to the love of the Father, who wishes to make humanity a single family in his Son. The entire activity of the Universal Church is an expression of a love that seeks the integral good of peoples; it seeks his evangelization through God's Words and the Sacraments, an undertaking that is often heroic in the way it is acted out in history; and it seeks to promote peoples in the various arenas of life and human activity.

Love is therefore the service that the Church carries out in order to attend constantly to people's sufferings and his and her needs, including material needs.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
