Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New and Old (Sermons), Vol. 4: A Monthly Repertory of Catholic Pulpit Eloquence Embracing Two Sermons for Each Sunday and Holy-Day of Obligation of the Ecclesiastical Year "When the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all filled with the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:1.4. On this day, the Church finds herself happily placed between the benign influences of Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost, being redeemed by the one and conducted by the other. Jesus Christ ascends into heaven to be the pledge and Mediator of our eternal salvation; the Holy Ghost descends to the earth to be our guide and comforter in this valley of tears. Jesus Christ mounts up into the celestial sanctuary to complete the functions of the priesthood and to officiate as our advocate with the Father; the Holy Ghost comes down from the heavens to abide with the faithful to the end of time, to teach them all truth, and to prevent his divine spouse from being ever overpowered by the gates of hell. Christ ascends in order to prepare a place for us above, the Holy Ghost descends in order to animate us for future conflicts, and win for us that victory which must necessarily be gained before we can expect to be crowned with glory. The descent of the Holy Ghost was the price of the Sacred Blood of Jesus Christ, a favor accorded to his infinite merits and the final seal of our redemption. The disciples were not fit to receive this divine Spirit till after the visible departure of our Blessed Redeemer from this world. For this reason, our Blessed Lord said to them: "It is expedient for you that I go; for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you." (John 16:7.) In a moment the divine Spirit changed them into other men, purified their hearts, inflamed them with zeal and gratitude; and made them not only forget their own safety, to publish their Master´s Divinity, but sacrifice their lives for his honor and glory, and for the establishment of his Church. Turn your eyes towards Jerusalem, and consider attentively the glorious event which took place there, this day, at the very time that the Jews were celebrating the anniversary of the promulgation of their Law upon Mount Sinai. 1. It is an article of faith that the Holy Ghost is the third Person of the Most Holy Trinity; that he proceeds from the Father and the Son as from one source and principle; that he is equal to both in power and glory and every perfection, existing with the same divine nature and essence from all eternity.
