[2066] Feast of Finding of the Holy Cross. First antiphon of

[2067] Phil. 2: 8. St. Thomas (Com. in Epist. ad Phil.
2:8) quotes this text from Job 22:29; "He that hath been
humbled shall be in glory." He also quotes this text from St. Paul
(Eph. 1:21): "God set Him on His right hand in the heavenly
places, above all."
[2068] This doctrine is confirmed by the Scripture; for the Gospel
says: "On the last and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and
cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to Me and drink.
He that believeth in Me, as the Scripture saith: From within Him
shall flow rivers of living water. Now this He said of the Spirit
which they should receive, who believed in Him; for as yet the
Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified" (John
8:37f.). St. Thomas (Com. in Joan. 8:38) says:
"These words "the Spirit was not yet given, must be understood of
that abundant bestowal, and by visible signs, such as was given to the
apostles after the resurrection and ascension in the form of fiery
tongues.... And the reason assigned why Christ willed to be
glorified before He would give the Holy Spirit, is that the Holy
Spirit is given for the purpose of weaning our hearts from attachment
to worldly things so that they be centered on our spiritual resurrection
and hasten with all our supernatural powers toward God." Moreover,
the Holy Spirit is Christ's supreme gift, namely, the uncreated
gift, which is ultimately granted on the culmination of His mission
and glorification, that is, after the humiliations of His passion.
