You know what the essence of the Christ of Peace is? It is not that the Church would pick out this or that topic as a topic of meditation or of preaching or of instructing the faithful on that particular day. The speech in the Christian faith is more than teaching and preaching. That is a concept which only much later has come into the Christian Church. The idea of Christian faith is that it is always a participation in the dying of God.

A faith is a feast of life, the fruit of life. the intensification of power. And so also, today we do not simply state the object of the thought, the dogma, or of the three divine customs incorporating water, essence, the divine nature, as a topic of meditation or preaching. But this is a feast It is the octave of Pentecost and therefore forms part of that very feast to be drawn into the life of God. Because that is what the Holy Spirit really is. The Holy Spirit is part in the gospel of St. John now alone. The Spirit who spiritates the Spirit of truth.
[03:00]
Again, that does not mean the spirits that would teach this or that doctrine, but it means the new reality. Whose reality are the divine life? I live. The reality of divine life would be the relationship That is true in the sense that the New Testament has given to that word. So the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. That it would be to narrow an idea of a Holy Spirit to think that the Spirit of truth would be overly limited to that function of kind of pathway over the head of the church. The Pope telling him, what to become and what not to become. But the Holy Spirit is that Spirit of fullness of divine reality, descending near that is the beauty of the New Testament, over the launcher, fitting to the entire house.
[04:17]
Now it is evident that this coming of the Holy Spirit who is also called the finger of the white-haired god. The white-haired god is notoriously humble as a god. The finger of that white-haired god is the Holy Spirit. Because the finger touches the Holy Spirit, copied from the right hand of God, that means from the gloriously righteous God, who is the station that has been enthroned at the right hand of the God. And even in evilfulness, all evil's royal power takes out the Holy Spirit to fill the inside of us, to touch us, to touch us, for then failing to work
[05:21]
In one way, the innermost heart of what is held in God, in his full reality, causes to dwell in us, to dwell in us in that specific word, as sweet, as great, as the delight, the delight of truth, The delight of imparting blessings. The delight of the affliction. The delight of eternal love. And the Admiral says, explained it so beautifully in his private week, that it is the Holy Spirit touching us deeply, our innermost personality, moving it, moving it not by mind, but moving it truly far within our depth, so that through this influence of the Holy Spirit, our levity is not suppressed, as there would be in violence, but our levity is free.
[06:37]
We really can reach our own very depth. under the influence of the Holy Spirit, who pulls us at that divine delight to get started on our way back to the Father, who is the principal encouraging of all things. So when God, by the Holy Spirit, gives to us death, he gives a real true heart to us. a heart that extends to the divine, the divine, our divine life. But in order to destroy evil, the spirit of sin, it is to have a heart that is large, a large spirit which we have created, from the prison of our selfishness, and start living with others, living for others, living as a friend.
[07:49]
With these two things, with these two powers inside, the Holy Spirit adds the finger of God's right hand, touches our hearts, giving us death and freeing us from our narrows, the narrows of Satan, so that they realize the other world, the world. And that is the power of the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is given to us through Christ. is that gift that comes to us through Christ's death and resurrection. In this day, our Lord has entered through the calvary of earthly hellfire into the wilderness and marshes of divine glory.
[08:55]
And so there is a fruit of our beloved Lord's dying and poor living, the spirit of the many as it were, fills us and lets us live together with well-being and then in the unity of the Church, in the unity of well-being and good, in the debate of their supernatural friendship, lets us then go together all that may be at war on the world to fight. But this Holy Spirit, which in this way moves us by giving us this sense of divine, of the divine will, and by making our hearts light so that we feel with us, this Holy Spirit never leaves us to cry. in the unity of the Holy Spirit, through Christ, the Son of God, will come, will go up towards life.
[10:07]
And there is no evidence and fear to only consider what we are doing here today in this holy sacrifice. We are all united, and that picture of unity of the many belongs to one author, That is the picture of the Holy Ghost. That fullness around Christ. Christ is the daughter. We are the fullness of the Holy Ghost. And here we are, and we sing together. And that is the delight. And I told you before, it is the specific touch that which the Holy Spirit touches our souls. They will not be allowed to sin, and we have to sin. Wherever they enter the Holy Spirit, their hearts and the tongues of men are loosed. And then in this common celebration here, in this our being together, in this our signaling, expressing with them the readiness and gift of our soul, all that we give,
[11:24]
in the divine service, then we gather a wise priest. The priest is the savior of such an evangelical family. The priest represents Christ. And he represents Christ as the Lord, as the one who has God. The priest, in the state of the church, gives their consumer, gives their consumer hope. Christ, who has spoken, is with us. And then this victory of Christ is, in this unity of the Holy Spirit, re-adapted again by the priest. In the Holy Sacrifice that we are just about now to receive. But in order to enter into this holy sacrifice, where the priest, under the rule by the Holy Spirit, empowered by the Spirit, repeats the words in which Christ, our Lord, gave himself as sacrifice to us, he says, this is my quality, and this is my glory.
[12:41]
You see, that's my words of the Holy Spirit. That is the formulation in the word and shape and reality of the power of the Spirit. The Spirit is a player again, and as it hovered before over Mary, so it now hovers over us and over the Queen, and again the mystery of divine birth. Out of their deep connection, the depth at the resurrection of the Lord. Again, they are here before the Lord. So the fullness of the Spirit here enters over you, says Graham, to sanctify the cross. In the Holy Spirit and through Christ. The power of the Holy Spirit in English comes to go through Christ. A holy sacrifice means to go through his death.
[13:44]
And that is the reason why every poor, unless but one here, of these worlds which are filled with divine love, I mean the worlds this by loving, this by love, which are worlds simply of sacrifice, which are worlds of death, but of a life to be dead. that you may enter and make this world fair in these words. And when said to you in your own person, you come and the author put your post on the path. And that is you going to Christ by the action you play in the power of the Holy Spirit and with the cheerfulness of the Holy Spirit because you sing into it, eh? You can use it as a sacrifice. And in this way, you can enter into the sacrifice of Christ, and of the Christian, through Christ.
[14:51]
And then you are a part, as true to the fact, of the Bible, who are in him. With these words, they are the last part of the message. Through the veil of Christ's flesh, we have entered into the presence of the Father. And there we stayed truly as children, filled with white filth, fear, and doubt. We are going to stay out of the world and have a free life. That is really the end of works. All this whole thing. All the things of the correction. So do you think we can celebrate this feast? Heavens give up. As our own love. And when you leave the church, then all of us give up. First, he provides in our hearts and delights of the divine consume of the divine being.
[15:58]
You see, in church, every Sunday brings into the heart of every Christian the delight of God. It's not a duty. It's not something like, oh, the delight of God that this Sunday brings into your hearts. Always remember this. Remember the sweetness of Jerusalem, especially then when your hours are down, and then the lines fall out, and you have lost the taste for the moment. Always remember the delight, and when you remember it, then the Holy Spirit comes, And also remember that you are never alone, that you are always with us. The two things with which the devil tried to delete in our souls the visions of the Holy Spirit are bitterness and iciness.
[17:03]
those who they indeed are, the soul of man, and make it impossible for the Holy Spirit to dwell there in His courts. Therefore remember it outside the church. Let the memory of divine strength and let the perishable beauty of friendship and of brotherhood And then we continue with a cheerful heart to offer yourself in sacrifice, with Christ, through Christ. May the Holy Spirit make you love the cross in what way ever the God's mercy has put this cross upon your shoulders. And then be sure in this way to enter into the presence of your of the Father who art in him. And of the Father, you should really think in this way, that the Father is love, even in love.
[18:13]
That is what Christianity tells us about the Father. And in that way also meet him, meet him in the confidence at first that only he can adopt us, and he will transpire into our hearts. So just the Holy Trinity is really here, revelation, what can we say, manifestation of the three main volunteers of the New Testament, Catholic, That is what we call grace. That is the beauty, the delights, and the freedom. And that leads us to the docks, to that manifestation of God's glory. But never forget, manifestation of God's glory was two legs on the cross. And again and again, on so it is, every idea comes through that.
[19:16]
We surrender our honesty. That is the glory of God's goodness. And next, then, brings us to charity. God's charity. And that is the beginning of it. God's infinite charity. That is the source for which all of our diet is good. And this charity, given both through the inner camp of holy enemies. And now the point is, there is the strongest in you when it comes to the manifestation of your power. That is, you are a tremendous people. that we can approach them not only pointing out our achievements, but probably realizing our deficiencies and still staying in the power of the Holy Spirit through the cross of Christ, say, our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
