Isaiah 40:1-2 (MSG)
“Comfort, oh comfort my people,” says your God. “Speak softly and tenderly to Jerusalem, but also make it very clear that she has served her sentence, that her sin is taken care of—forgiven!”
The Holy Spirit is our Comforter.
“Thou of comforters the best,
thou the soul’s most welcome guest.”
Veni, sancte Spiritus
