Through the Holy Spirit comes our restoration to Paradise, our ascension into the Kingdom of heaven, our return to divine adoption, our courage to call God our Father, our being made partakers of 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 all "fullness of blessing" (Rom 15:29), both in this world and in the world to come.
St. Basil the Great, from On the Holy Spirit, 15,36
