St Thomas Aquinas says this very succinctly when he writes: "The New Law is the grace of the Holy Spirit" (Summa Theologiae, I-IIae, q.106 a. 1). The New Law is not another commandment more difficult than the others: the New Law is a gift, the New Law is the presence of the Holy Spirit [Pope Benedict]
San Tommaso d’Aquino lo dice in modo molto preciso quando scrive: “La nuova legge è la grazia dello Spirito Santo” (Summa theologiae, I-IIae, q. 106, a. 1). La nuova legge non è un altro comando più difficile degli altri: la nuova legge è un dono, la nuova legge è la presenza dello Spirito Santo [Papa Benedetto]
Even after seeing his people's repeated unfaithfulness to the covenant, this God is still willing to offer his love, creating in man a new heart (John Paul II)

«Abide in me, and I in you» (v. 4). This abiding is not a question of abiding passively, of “slumbering” in the Lord, letting oneself be lulled by life [Pope Francis]
«Rimanete in me e io in voi» (v. 4). Questo rimanere non è un rimanere passivo, un “addormentarsi” nel Signore, lasciandosi cullare dalla vita [Papa Francesco]
سَلامي أُعطيكُم – My peace I give to you! (Jn 14:27). This is the true revolution brought by Christ: that of love […] You will come to know inconceivable joy and fulfilment! To answer Christ’s call to each of us: that is the secret of true peace (Pope Benedict)
سَلامي أُعطيكُم [Vi do la mia pace!]. Qui è la vera rivoluzione portata da Cristo, quella dell'amore [...] Conoscerete una gioia ed una pienezza insospettate! Rispondere alla vocazione di Cristo su di sé: qui sta il segreto della vera pace (Papa Benedetto)
Spirit, defined as "another Paraclete" (Jn 14: 16), a Greek word that is equivalent to the Latin "ad-vocatus", an advocate-defender. The first Paraclete is in fact the Incarnate Son who came to defend man (Pope Benedict)
Spirito, definito "un altro Paraclito" (Gv 14,16), termine greco che equivale al latino "ad-vocatus", avvocato difensore. Il primo Paraclito infatti è il Figlio incarnato, venuto per difendere l’uomo (Papa Benedetto)
The Lord gives his disciples a new commandment, as it were a Testament, so that they might continue his presence among them in a new way: […] If we love each other, Jesus will continue to be present in our midst, to be glorified in this world (Pope Benedict)
Quasi come Testamento ai suoi discepoli per continuare in modo nuovo la sua presenza in mezzo a loro, dà ad essi un comandamento: […] Se ci amiamo gli uni gli altri, Gesù continua ad essere presente in mezzo a noi, ad essere glorificato nel mondo (Papa Benedetto)
St Teresa of Avila wrote: “the last thing we should do is to withdraw from our greatest good and blessing, which is the most sacred humanity of Our Lord Jesus Christ” (cf. The Interior Castle, 6, ch. 7) [Pope Benedict]
