Receiving rather than giving

Our spirituality is, first and foremost, much more a matter of receiving rather than of giving.  It is God's doing.  Our spirituality involves us in the receptive descending of the triune God, an act of condescension in which God the Father comes down to us and gives us the Holy Spirit through Jesus and His Word.
