PENTECOST THOUGHT
Always available, [The Holy Spirit]…is given in proportion to each one’s will to receive; it remains with each according to his will to grow in merit. This is what is with us to the end of time; this is our consolation in our time of waiting; this, through what it bestows and effects, is the pledge of our hope for the future; this is the light of our minds, the splendour of our understanding.
St Hilary (fourth century)
