Examples

One does not read in the Gospel that the Lord said: "I will send you the Paraclete who will teach you about the course of the sun and moon." For He willed to make them Christians, not mathematicians. Augustine of Hippo

He next began a long discourse intended to prepare those closest to him for his rapidly approaching departure; he consoles them with the promise of the sending of the other Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, who would maintain his presence and action forever. Source: Internet
