The Holy Spirit is the Source

You were born for “True Love”. The real self sacrificing, self-forgetting, other-centred love one person has for another. We all really know that love, “true Love” is the ultimate meaning of our lives, the ultimate good. Christ was and is radical. His new love was a totally new redefinition of the word. But we fight it, confuse it , moan about it, run from it, search for it, flicker with it, fickle with it, fight it because we have never grown up. To really grow up is to live this self sacrificing love. But where is the source of this love. The Holy Spirit is the source. He is the source of true wisdom, holiness, the spring well-off saintliness, the powerhouse to live the Christian faith. He is the fire in the belly. He is the fuel of Catholic dynamism and action. He is the source of ultimate love, love that changed the world, history and us. Where do I find the Spirit? We don’t. He finds us, when we allow him to find us. God gives us the spirit. He comes to us through the Son, from the Father. Just like a child asking it’s parent, we ask with childlike faith in our Father’s love for the Spirit. Childlike faith is all that is required.
