Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do? In brief contemplative meditations, each centered on an action Scripture ascribes to the Spirit—He convicts, calls, comforts, teaches, guides, speaks, and reminds—I Will Come to You draws on Scripture and the early church fathers to make the Spirit’s work real in daily life: a steady pull of love toward Jesus and His open embrace with the Father.
Through a series of contemplative devotions and meditations, I Will Come to You reflects upon the active work of the Holy Spirit in each person’s journey to Christ. Each chapter, brief but overflowing with love, focuses on an action verb associated with the Holy Spirit drawn from the Bible and the intimacy of Christ’s presence in the Spirit’s work in us. The Spirit convicts, calls, comforts, teaches, guides, speaks, reminds, and so on—all in a firm and steady pull of love towards Jesus and His open embrace with the Father.
“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you,” Christ promised during the last night with His disciples before His crucifixion (Jn 14:18). His words ring with urgency and concern, but He nonetheless promised His disciples His own presence with the coming of the Holy Spirit. How many of us think of the intimacy of the Lord’s presence in our lives in the Holy Spirit? Perhaps framed that way, one might truly cling to the Spirit of Christ given to each of us, ever leading us to the ineffable unity with God promised to us from the beginning.
Too often the Spirit seems like an abstraction, an afterthought, or an accidental consequence more than an actual, active Person of adoration and worship. By focusing on His divine activity, I Will Come to You draws from Scripture and the early church fathers to help make the Holy Spirit’s work real in daily living, rather than an idea or rote theology.
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (Jn 1:14). Across forty meditations, The House that Love Built leads the reader from the wonder of the manger to the silence of the Cross, drawing on the Gospel, the witness of the Fathers, and the ancient prayers of the Church.
As humanity groped for God from the depths of its misery and ignorance, God stooped to make for Himself a home among His creation. In the Incarnation, the Word, who fashioned the cosmos, took our flesh as His own, entered our poverty, and pitched His tent in the midst of a people wandering in the darkness of sin and self-centeredness. This is the mystery to which these pages return again and again: divine Love did not wait for us to become worthy of God, but came down to our unworthiness to build a house of worthiness, which we are, for a sublime intimacy, union, and dwelling with Him.
Each chapter is an invitation to pause, to ponder, and to let the humility of God reshape the heart. Read it slowly—one meditation at a time—as a companion through Advent, through Lent, or through any season in which the soul longs to be found by the One who unceasingly searches for her.
