Having Our Faculties
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 August 2024
Extract
Keep the good thing committed to thy trust by the Holy Ghost who dwelleth in us, so St Paul brings out two sides of a relationship. First, ourselves who are told to keep the good thing, literally the deposit granted to us that we ourselves ftiay render it to God; second, the indwelling Spirit, the Gift himself present in person. Correspondingly we may consider a double movement in prayer, the ascent of the mind and heart to god, which is what we do from grace and the virtue of religion, and the coming down of the Spirit who breathes through us so that we are rather acted upon than acting, who himself giveth testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God. It is with the first we are engaged in this article, reserving the second until later.
