The Holy Spirit And Adherence

Μὴ ἀπορρίψῃς με ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιόν σου μὴ ἀντανέλῃς απ' ἐμοῦ. Τῶν σπουδαίων ἀδιαστάτως τῷ τοῦ θεοῦ προσώπῳ παρισταμένων ὁ ἀπορρίπτεται. Μὴ πάθοιμι δὲ τουτο, φησὶ, περιεχόμενος τῆς θείας κατανοήσεως· μηδὲ τοῦ δοθέντος μοι θείου Πνεύματος γυμνωθείην. Δίδυμος Αλεξανδρεύς,, Εἰς Ψαλμους, Ψαλμος Ν' Source: Migne PG 39 1397-1400

'Do not cast me from your face and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.' 1 While the righteous continually stand before the face of God, the sinner is cast out from Him. May I not suffer this, he says, the Divine vision encompassing me; may I not be stripped of the Holy Spirit which has been given to me. Didymus the Blind, Commentary on the Psalms, from Psalm 50 1 Ps 50.13
