A MAP OF LIFE the life of His human nature. For He was God. And, therefore, since we are united organically with Christ as Head, we are indwelt by the Blessed Trinity. But we have already seen the principle of appropriation by which the works of sanctification are especially associated with the Holy Ghost. It is by the power of the Holy Ghost that God became man in His mother’s womb : and it is by the power of the Holy Ghost that man is re-born into the Mystical Body — “unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” When He was giving his apostles the power to forgive sins. He breathed upon them and said: “Receive ye the Holy Ghost”: the Holy Ghost came upon the Apostles in the Upper Room and sent them forth for the conversion of the world : by Christ’s own word, the Holy Ghost, the Comforter was to abide with His Church. Everything the Church does for the sanctification of its individual member, every step that a member takes in supernatural development, is attributed to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity. 120
