St. Hilary expounds on the Trinity, some [paraphrased] excerpts:
The Holy Spirit is the gift of perfect hope.
The Holy Spirit aids the weakness of our mind which cannot comprehend the Father or the Son, shedding light on our understanding. He is the Spirit of Truth enabling us to know the things of God. As our eyes need light to fulfill their task, so too the human soul needs the gift of the Holy Spirit through faith to have the light necessary for knowledge of God.
He is offered in fullness to all, yet is given to each in proportion to one's readiness to receive. The presence of the Holy Spirit is the fuller, the greater a man's desire to be worthy of Him.
He is the light of our minds, the splendor that illuminates our understanding.
Let us be receptive to the gift of God. Let our hearts be ready. Let our desire be stirred. Come Holy Spirit!
