Filled with the Spirit

On the feast of John the Baptist, there is a phrase from the prayers and Mass that struck me... a simple description of the person of John, the Baptist.  

The description was of him as 'filled with the Spirit'.  I've heard it many times. Read it many a times.  But reading that phrase then, it struck me as an amazing complement!  To describe someone as 'filled with the Spirit' leaves nothing more to explain.  

There's everything good and holy, all summed up in those four words.  And I'm not talking in charismatic terminology, just pure common sense.  To be imbued with the Spirit, is to say everything good and perfect; without having to see what 'else' one has, or does, or needs to do.  

That's perfection!
