Scripture

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 1:4-5

While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for “the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Basil the Great, De Spiritu Sancto 36

Through the Holy Spirit comes our restoration to paradise, our ascension into the kingdom of heaven, our return to the adoption of sons, our liberty to call God our Father, our being made sharers in the grace of Christ, our being called children of light, our sharing in eternal glory, and, in a word, our being brought into a state of every blessing, both in this world and in the world to come, of all the good gifts that are in store for us.
