AE 343 - the Lord's Divine

AE 343
The Divine that constitutes heaven
and gives to angels and people
love, faith, wisdom, and intelligence,
proceeds not immediately from the Lord's Divine Itself,
but through His Divine Human,
and this Divine that proceeds is the Holy Spirit.

. . . for the Lord's Divine is that which assumed the Human,
and for that reason He called it His Father . . ..
And the Divine Proceeding is what is called the Holy Spirit,
the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth, and the Paraclete . . .

. . . they are one essence when the three are names of one person,
namely, the Divine Itself, called the Father;
the Divine Human, called the Son;
and the Divine Proceeding, called the Holy Spirit.
