“It is well to remark, that we sometimes attribute to one or other of the Divine Persons works or perfections which in reality are common to all the Divine Persons. We do this by what theologians call appropriation, that is because these perfections seem to be more connected with the personal characteristics of that Divine Person.

We attribute Power and the work of Creation to the Father because He is the Principle Foundation of the Son and Holy Ghost.

We attribute Wisdom to the Son because He proceeds from the Father by the intellect.

We attribute the sanctification of the souls, the Gifts and Fruits to the Holy Ghost because He proceeds from the Father and the Son by their mutual love.”

The Holy Spirit is often neglected by the vast majority of Christians. Perhaps we need to go to Him more frequently. We are all doing the best we can but perhaps we can try to do a little better. Might you agree?

 

Words Of Caution

Be careful of those wolves who come in sheep’s clothing. They will trap you with Extraordinary Gifts of Healing and the Speaking of Tongues. When in doubt speak with a member of the Church, either or both a Religious or Priest. We often spent time and I continue to spend time speaking with the priests and religious, not just from St. Francis of Assisi Church on West 31 Street New York City, but from other parts of the City and other parts of the World. They always give honest advice from their heart and soul. We thank them now with our prayers and for their prayers for this Ministry.
