Following St. Paul,83 The tradition of the Church has understood Jesus’
words as not excluding oaths made for grave and right reasons (for example, in
court). “An oath, that is the invocation of the divine name as a witness
to truth, cannot be taken unless in truth, in judgment, and in
justice.”84

To live well is nothing other
than to love God with all one’s heart, with all one’s soul and with all one’s
efforts; from this it comes about that love is kept whole and uncorrupted
(through temperance). No misfortune can disturb it (and this is fortitude). It
obeys only (God) (and this is justice), and is careful in discerning things, so
as not to be surprised by deceit or trickery (and this is prudence).75

When Jesus openly entrusts to his disciples the mystery of prayer to the
Father, he reveals to them what their prayer and ours must be, once he has
returned to the Father in his glorified humanity. What is new is to “ask
in his name.”78 Faith in the Son introduces the disciples into the
knowledge of the Father, because Jesus is “the way, and the truth, and the
life.”79 Faith bears its fruit in love: it means keeping the word
and the commandments of Jesus, it means abiding with him in the Father who, in
him, so loves us that he abides with us. In this new covenant the certitude
that our petitions will be heard is founded on the prayer of Jesus.80

Fire.
While water signifies birth and the fruitfulness of life given in the Holy
Spirit, fire symbolizes the transforming energy of the Holy Spirit’s actions.
the prayer of the prophet Elijah, who “arose like fire” and whose
“word burned like a torch,” brought down fire from heaven on the
sacrifice on Mount Carmel.37 This event was a “figure” of the
fire of the Holy Spirit, who transforms what he touches. John the Baptist, who
goes “before [the Lord] in the spirit and power of Elijah,” proclaims
Christ as the one who “will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with
fire.”38 Jesus will say of the Spirit: “I came to cast fire
upon the earth; and would that it were already kindled!”39 In the
form of tongues “as of fire,” the Holy Spirit rests on the disciples
on the morning of Pentecost and fills them with himself40 The spiritual
tradition has retained this symbolism of fire as one of the most expressive
images of the Holy Spirit’s actions.41 “Do not quench the
Spirit.”42
