Devotion of June 7 "The Gift of the Father in Christ"

The Lord commanded to baptize in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The catechumen is baptized thus professing faith in the Creator, in the Only Begotten, in the Gift.
Unique is the Creator of everything. In fact, one God the Father from whom all things begin. Only the Only Begotten, Our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and unique the Spirit given as a gift to all.
Everything is ordered according to its virtues and merits; one the power from which everything proceeds; one the offspring for which everything was made; one the gift of perfect hope.
There will be nothing missing from infinite perfection. In the context of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, everything is most perfect: immensity in the eternal, manifestation in the image, enjoyment in the gift.
We listen to the words of the same Lord what his task is towards us. He says: "I still have many things to tell you, but for the moment you are not able to bear the weight" (Jn 16:12). It is good for you that I go away, if I go I will send you the Comforter (cf. Jn 16: 7). Again: "I will pray to the Father and he will give you another Comforter to remain with you forever, the Spirit of truth" (Jn 14, 16-17). «He will guide you to the whole truth, because he will not speak for himself, but he will say everything he has heard and will announce future things to you. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine "(Jn 16: 13-14).
Together with many other promises, these are destined to open the intelligence of high things. In these words both the will of the donor and the nature and manner of the gift are formulated.
Since our limitation does not allow us to understand neither the Father nor the Son, the gift of the Holy Spirit establishes a certain contact between us and God, and thus illuminates our faith in the difficulties related to the incarnation of God.
We therefore receive it to know. The senses for the human body would be useless if the requirements for their exercise were no longer met. If there is no light or it is not day, the eyes are useless; the ears in the absence of words or sound cannot perform their task; if there are no odoriferous emanations, the nostrils are useless. And this happens not because they lack natural capacity, but because their function is conditioned by particular elements. In the same way, if the soul of man does not draw on the gift of the Holy Spirit by faith, he has the capacity to understand God, but he lacks the light to know him.
The gift, which is in Christ, is given entirely to all. It remains at our disposal everywhere and is granted to us to the extent that we would like to welcome it. He will dwell in us to the extent that each of us wants to deserve it.
This gift remains with us until the end of the world, it is the comfort of our expectation, it is the pledge of future hope in the realization of its gifts, it is the light of our minds, the splendor of our souls.
