Now you have come, beloved Holy Spirit. This time you came in a violent wind (cf. Acts 2:2), not as you did with your friend Elijah (cf. 1 Kgs 19:11-13). Then it was more hidden, as you usually work in the souls of the people who let you in. But today it was different as

“On the faithful, who adoreAnd confess you, evermoreIn your sevenfold gift descend; Give them virtue’s sure reward;Give them your salvation, Lord;Give them joys that never end.” The faithful, the people of God… Who belongs to them?

“O most blessed Light divine,May that light within us shineAnd our inmost being fill!
