The first detail comes from the first reading, taken from Romans 5:1-5, and the topic it relates to is the nature of justification. The other three details come from the Gospel reading, which is taken from John 16:12-15. The related topics are the inspiration of the apostles’ teaching, the divinity of Jesus, and the doctrine of the filioque (the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son).
