“He is called both ‘the Love,’ and ‘the Gift’. He is called the Love, because He proceeds from the Father and the Son through love. This name belongs to Him by reason of His origin and personality. He is the Person of love. With this name is connected the other of ‘Gift,’ or pledge. Perfect, active love expresses itself by giving and communicating, as it were, a pledge of itself. A gift is always the expression and the result of love. Such in the Blessed Trinity is the Holy Ghost.” (Page 14)
