The Holy Spirit completes the task of bringing the world into the union with Christ.
Christ brings all things back to the Father.

Once the task is fulfilled all things are brought back to God, so that God may be ‘all in all’ – links to Cosmic Reconciliation. - 8Pope Benedict XVI wrote in 2005:“’If you see charity [love], you see the Trinity
