Who Is the Holy Spirit?
Catholic Update: Who is the Holy Spirit?
Our faith is greatly enriched when we remember the Spirit's role in the world and in our lives. “The Holy Spirit is God's presence and activity among us. The Holy Spirit is God, continuously drawing near and passing by to vivify, renew, and love us and all of creation,” relates Sr. Elizabeth Johnson, PhD. “Through the Spirit, the risen Christ is present with us everywhere and in every moment, as pervasive as the air we breathe, the sun or the rain that comes down on us, the wind that blows around us, the life that flows through our veins. This is the God we are talking about when we speak of the Spirit.”
This newsletter explores three areas where we can renew our understanding of the Holy Spirit:
- Everyday encounters with the Spirit
- Catholic Tradition
- Biblical images
