Footnote:

The words "given us of His Spirit" are actually more accurate than "given us a share in His Spirit", for The Holy Spirit is not itself the Divine Love, but serves as a vehicle to transport the Divine Love into the souls of Man (in like manner that it "descended upon" the disciples at Pentecost). We can read so in the only prayer that Man need to offer to the Father, "We pray that Thou will open up our souls to the inflowing of Thy love, and that then may come Thy Holy Spirit to bring into our souls this, Thy Love in great abundance (...)"
