Well...let's put it this way.
Remember the Scripture that talks about how when we don't know what to pray for, the Spirit prays in us for us?
Well, the Holy Spirit is God...and we are praying to/seeking God?
What I am praying to/looking for...is what is doing the praying/looking, right?
And the Holy Spirit, we see from Jesus, is an authentic dimension of human being. Loder's "Holy"
That's kinda what I think St. Francis (and Meister Eckhart) was getting at with statements like that...maybe.
