Jesus promises his disciples that, although he will soon be leaving them, he will not leave them ‘desolate’ — or ‘as orphans’, as another version puts it. He will send them his Spirit who will be with them always. In his mortal humanity, Jesus could only be in one place at a time and could

The early Church referred to baptism as ‘enlightenment’ or ‘illumination’ and the candidates for baptism as ‘those being enlightened’. The story of the cure of the man born blind and his subsequent progress from physical sight to the insight of faith is a figure of what happens to the baptized person. John writes of the
