When I praised the Father for His gifts in prayer, he showed me that His Holy Spirit enfolds me in sweet 'fire', in joy.
As a seagull soars effortlessly on high, resting on the winds as it gazes all around, so the soul can soar effortlessly in prayer, 'resting' on the Spirit's power, gazing towards Heaven, towards the invisible Father Whose touch is felt, but Who cannot yet be seen.
As a man delightedly holds his grandchild on high, to delight the child, so the Holy Spirit causes His children to soar upwards in delightful prayer.
Christ is pleased by our devotion to Him at the tabernacle. He leans like a king from a palace window, arms open wide, to give a lovely greeting. He is alive, and risen, and Present with us. He with one with the Father and Holy Spirit, pictured close by Him.
If we live 'in Christ', we are enfolded in His Spirit as if in a candle-flame, and rise to the edge of Heaven, to Christ, and the invisible Father, through the Spirit's light and power.
If we surrender to him, the Holy Spirit will fill our souls with light, love, purity, peace, and power
Christ prayed to the Father, in His earthly life: prayer from one Divine Person to another, equal in majesty. The reciprocal love blazing out between them is the Holy Spirit: a torrent of love so fiery and radiant that no sinful creature could have borne the sight. Only in Heaven can we see it, in its fullness.
When we pray for one sick person, then for 'all the sick'; or when we pray for a priest, and then 'for all the priests in the world', it's as if we have sent out, all at once, thousands of prayers - just as when an invitation composed on a computer can be sent in a moment to a large number of friends. The Holy Spirit prompts us to make a charitable thought, then to multiply our prayer by a single phrase.
Whenever we pray 'Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit', with a sincere heart, it's as if a sunspot erupts in our hearts, as glory streams up to God, to honour Him and to bring delight to the whole of Heaven.

Anyone on earth can choose to call out for God's help, hoping to be heard. Yet those baptised into Christ and made adopted children of God now live in His Light. They can speak with God as with a friend. They have a sure hope of Heaven if they remain faithful to the end. Christ's Spirit, living in them, gives knowledge of God, intimacy and hope, and is a 'lamp' for the way ahead.
The Godhead is like a walled city. Only if we are carried by the Holy Spirit can we be carried over the wall into Heaven when we die; and only by His power can people approach Heaven in contemplation, as if by a rope ladder which is prayer.
When we meet Christ we always meet the Father and the Holy Spirit. The Three Divine Persons are active and alive, and never separated, as they invite us to share in their life.

Christ our God was truly at work in the Creation of the Universe, with the Father and the Holy Spirit. At every moment Christ is all-knowing, everywhere present, all-loving and all-holy. We live in His love.
