for I came from God and am here;
I did not come on my own, but he sent me."
-- Jn 8:31-42
The One whom the Father has sent into our
hearts, the Spirit of his Son, is truly God. Consubstantial with the
Father and the Son, the Spirit is inseparable from them, in both the
inner life of the Trinity and his gift of love for the world. In adoring
the Holy Trinity, life-giving, consubstantial, and indivisible, the
Church's faith also professes the distinction of persons. When the
Father sends his Word, he always sends his Breath. In their joint
mission, the Son and the Holy Spirit are distinct but inseparable. To be
sure, it is Christ who is seen, the visible image of the invisible God,
but it is the Spirit who reveals him.
