while she was on earth, compared to the angels!  We read in
               the DW that there will be the nines choirs of those in the DW

               like the nine choirs of Angels we could perhaps call these the
               blood types of heaven!


               Another Analogy: we too can help stop the bleeding of other
               people as scriptures like Ezekiel 22:30 show we can like Jesus
               stand in the gap for others, or to use analogy of St Paul in Gal

               6:2 carry each other’s burdens so fulfil the law of Christ. St
               Augustine speaks eloquently below about loving not
               simply in a human way but Divine as Jesus loved. Loving

               as a child of God in a divinised way.


               Another analogy is shown by the second reading St from Hilary
               below. That the Holy Spirit cannot witness to us our identity
               because the Holy Spirit is pure spirit. But we are part spirit and

               part human matter, so we need an incarnate God to give us
               flesh and blood discipleship. To be human emotionally and
               psychologically as Jesus role models so well. How in the flesh

               we can do Divine acts.

               Interestingly the Holy Spirit’s role is primarily in the faculty of
               memory and gives the virtue of love and breath is good symbol

               because memory directly relates to others but Jesus primarily
               forms our intellect, giving the virtue of faith, and blood is very
               apt because thinking is inherent personal at first instance.

               While noting all the faculties of the soul have an orientation to
               communion.


               All of this may be summed up by the point that the DW is not
               just about unity of wills. The Divine Will teaching is about
               degrees of union of the will (all the way to DW becoming a

               person’s prime act), or as St Hilary says in the reading below its
               about graduation of unity of will. Jesus naturally has one will
               with the Father in the Trinity- the Divine Will. But the human
               fallen will is not natural to God! So how can Jesus or God

               naturally dwell within us?  St Hilary said below- Jesus had to
