"In English-speaking countries the Church has been at a
disadvantage in the way in which she has had to expound her
doctrine, for she has been forced for many years to limit her
attention just to those parts of her teaching wherein the
Protestant bodies parted company from her. Without any desire to
stir up barren controversy, she has naturally in self-defence been
at pains most precisely to define those portions of her gospel most
likely to be misunderstood. This has resulted, unfortunately, in
her leaving in the background the other mysteries of faith, often
richer in themselves, more helpful to her children. Now, however,
that she is becoming more able to realize herself to the modern
world, an opportunity opens for explaining hidden doctrines, of
which the value to the Catholic in the development of his inner
life is considerable." This work begins with Pope Leo XIII's
Encyclical Divinum Illud Munus. "When we say God is everywhere, we
mean that He is in all things because He made all things." We do
not stop and think about God's omnipresence in the world. "God is
intimate with all creation because He made it, for creation implies
that God remains within, supporting, upholding. God is within
everything, and therefore He is everywhere." Let us consider this
important point: "I have God the Holy Spirit with me. He comes to
me in order that I may surrender myself to Him." This work then
considers the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost, devoting a chapter to
each. "The indwelling, then, of the Holy Spirit is a true and
magnificent phrase. It means that we become living Temples of God.
Elsewhere indeed He is in tree, flower, sky, earth, water; up in
the Heavens, down to the depths of the lower places, in the cleft
wood and lifted stone, in the heart of all creation by the very
fact of its creation."
