The Third Person of the Holy Trinity is the "Driving Force" of the Church's Life
Compendium 136-146 John 14:16-17,26
1.To be the Third Person of the Trinity does not mean to be less important. The Holy Spirit is worshiped and glorified and co-equal to the Father and son.
2. The Trinity is a splendid mystery of God's inward communion of life and love of which we are destined to share fully.
3. The Holy Spirit is our Advocate, Counselor, Comforter and The Giver of Life.
4. The Holy Spirit is "Living Water" at Baptism and "tongues of fire" at Pentecost. The Spirit descends as a Dove at Christ's baptism. He is the inspiration of the Prophets. Through the Power of the Holy Spirit Mary conceived and became the mother of Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother.
5. The Holy Spirit enables us to pray and proclaim the saving Gospel of Truth And Love, he restores divine likeness in those who are baptized, confirms his gifts at Confirmation, empowers priests to bring forth the living presence of Christ in the Eucharist, imparts forgiveness in the sacrament of Penance. When we open our hearts to the fruits of the Holy Spirit we bring forth a rich harvest of new life and love."Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of the faithful."
