Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New and Old (Sermons), Vol. 6: A Monthly Repertory of Catholic Pulpit Eloquence Embracing Two Sermons for Each Sunday and Holy-Day of Obligation of the Ecclesiastical Year "But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you." (John 14: 26.) The greatest festival of the Jews was on the fiftieth day after the eating of the Paschal Lamb, for on the fiftieth day after the departure from Egypt, God had written his commandments for them with his own finger upon tablets of stone. To-day is the fiftieth day since Christ (and we in him) arose from the dead; and we celebrate to-day the great feast of the descent of the Holy Ghost, whom the Church calls the finger of God; the festival of that grand Teacher who has inscribed the law of love, not on tables of stone, but in our living ♥ as the Apostle says: "You are the epistles of Christ, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart." (2 Cor. 3 : 3.) This divine Spirit has not only taught us the law but has also given us the grace whereby we may fulfil it, and he is, therefore, called the holy or sanctifying Ghost, because all the Saints have received their sanctity from him (St. Bern.). Hence, it is appropriate that I should explain to you, to-day, how or in what manner he produces holiness in us, and what gifts we receive from him, in order that we should: I. Avoid evil, and II. Do good. In this all holiness consists. Come, then, O Holy Ghost, and send down upon us one ray of thy light, that we may thoroughly comprehend these two truths for thy honor and our benefit. I. That we may avoid evil the Holy Ghost operates in us: 1. Through the spirit of penance, 2. Through prayer for the forgiveness of sin, and 3. Through the remission of our sins. 1. The beginning of our return to God is repentance, which is effected in us, not by our own spirit, but by the Spirit of God.
