FAUSTI - They feel orphaned. They have not yet understood the mystery of the grain of wheat... The Son, leaving, gives us the fullness of Father love: he gives us the Spirit, he gives us birth from above, he gives us life and sends us to our brothers and sisters, because we bring reconciliation to all. The "Consoler" will overcome all our loneliness. He, who was "with" us before in the earthly presence of Jesus, will dwell "in" us after His departure. The most amazing reality is the awareness that God is in us, more intimate to us than ourselves. It is moving, to the point of tearing tears of exultation, to think that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. On the cross he will deliver the Spirit to us. The perspective is that of Easter, when Jesus will have delivered His Spirit. He will make the "world" understand the sin of which he is the victim. Do not accept the Son. Those who have condemned Jesus will understand that He is the Savior of the world, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. The Spirit will make it clear that Jesus is right. The world will discover the emptiness of its actions and will see the beauty of love. The Spirit on the cross will make clear the judgment of God, who condemns sin and saves the sinner. The three actions of the Consoler towards the world are specified: he will enlighten him on his error, convince him of sin, make him discover the lie, make him understand what is right, save him from his evil by showing him what is the judgment of God. We will heal from this sin by contemplating the Son of God raised up, for there we will see that God so loved the world that he gave his Only Begotten Son to save him (3:16). This disbelief is not only a past fact. It also works in the present in those who, not believing in Jesus, have not believed in the Love that God has for them. The world, which has judged and condemned the Son, will understand the cross as God's judgment against evil and man's salvation. The cross is a revelation of God's Love. With it the Son condemns and drives out the head of this world, which keeps us slaves in its lie.
