Ignorance of Scripture is...

As one oft times not too different from my namesake "Doubting" Thomas, I recently wondered how to reconcile the fact that the Holy Spirit "blows where it will" and yet we can be confident of that wind in Baptism and Confirmation. How do we know the Wind blew where we hoped it would?

Of course there's Church teaching and that is enough but there was the Scripture above that I wondered how to reconcile. And I did, reasoning that Jesus instituted the sacraments and where Jesus is, the Holy Spirit likewise is.

And indeed a pleasing personal confirmation came in the Mass readings a couple days later when John speaking of Christ: "God gives him the Spirit without reserve."
