9.
This is the Spirit that at the beginning "moved upon the face of the waters;" 1 by whom the world moves; by whom creation consists, and all things have life; who also wrought mightily in the prophets, 2 and descended in flight upon Christ. 3 This is the Spirit that was given to the apostles in the form of fiery tongues. 4 This is the Spirit that David sought when he said, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." 5 Of this Spirit Gabriel also spoke to the Virgin, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee." 6 By this Spirit Peter spake that blessed word, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." 7 By this Spirit the rock of the Church was stablished. 8 This is the Spirit, the Comforter, that is sent because of thee, 9 that He may show thee to be the Son 10 of God.
