The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Church

After reading John Paul II's Dominum et Vivificantem, and working through Luis Martinez's "True Devotion to the Holy Spirit", I loudly acknowledge my previous and continued ignorance regarding the importance of the Holy Spirit. Here is a brief synopsis of all that I have learned, and, believe me, it has been making a tremendous impact on my spiritual life...

The Holy Spirit is the act of Love of the Father and the Son.  The Holy Spirit's primary duty on earth was first to bring Christ (He was conceived by the Holy Spirit) and is now to continue Christ's salvific work (bringer of life).  What the Holy Spirit does to us, is make us more like Christ, as a sculptor gradually chips away a beautiful piece of art. We have to, however, be docile, and accepting of the Holy Spirit, and recognize Him as the first cause of all good acts that we do, be it prayer, helping someone, etc. The Holy Spirit is the immediate cause of every good act we do. Thus, we have an extremely intimate relationship, granted that we recognize that, indeed, we are temples of the Holy Spirit. The more we become like Christ through the Holy Spirit, the more we become holy, and the more we may fulfill our Christian duty of evangelizing, i.e., bringing Christ to others. he Holy Spirit is the bringer of Christ, the divine Word, who, after becoming docile to the Holy Spirit's work within us, is spoken to others by our actions, prayers, and words.

Thus we speak the ineffable Word of God by our very existence.

WHOA!!!!

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray:
O God, who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that, by the gift of the same Spirit, we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
