Reply. It is not congruous for the Father to be sent,
since mission implies procession from another according to
origin. But the Father is not from another. Therefore
He is not sent.
Reply to the first objection. The Father gives Himself
inasmuch as He liberally communicates Himself to be
enjoyed by creatures, and He dwells in creatures by
grace, according to our Lord's words: "If anyone love
Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love
him, and We will come to him, and will make Our abode
with him."[691]
