“O Holy Spirit, descend plentifully into my heart. Enlighten the dark corners of this neglected dwelling and scatter there Thy cheerful beams.” —Saint Augustine The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, remains a mystery for many of us. We “adore and glorify” the Spirit with the Father and the Son, but do we really understand the power or the actions of the Spirit? Father Mitch Pacwa, renowned spiritual leader and popular author and TV host, guides us through seven sessions on the Holy Spirit, and answering questions like: What’s the Holy Spirit’s role in creation?How does the Holy Spirit bestow authority and empower us?How did the Spirit work through the prophets?How does the Spirit give us wisdom and «lead us into all truth»?What is the relationship between the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and the Trinity?How did the Holy Spirit empower Mary and others in the New Testament?What role does the Holy Spirit play in our spiritual lives? Written to be used by groups or individuals, each session includes catechesis, discussion, and a call to put the learning into practice. Let this study encourage you, the words of the Veni, Creator Spiritus, which dates back to the ninth century, pray, “Come Holy Spirit, Creator blest, and in our souls take up Thy rest.”

Holy Spirit

An understanding of the Lord’s Spirit as knowing everything people say and speak stands behind the episode in Acts 5:1-11, when Ananias and his wife Sapphira held back money they had promised to contribute to the Church. Peter called this a lie to the Holy Spirit, who struck each of them dead in punishment. Clearly, the Spirit of the Lord is aware of all unrighteous behavior and punishes it with full divine authority.

Two more passages in Wisdom express the ongoing presence of the Lord’s Spirit in all of creation and the effects of the Spirit to maintain all of reality. Wisdom 12:1-2 simply offers an acknowledgment to God that his Spirit is a moral presence throughout all of creation. Being everywhere and within all things indicates the divine quality of the Lord’s Spirit. God’s infinite nature is omnipresent and is within everything that exists. This teaching is not the same as pantheism, which claims that everything is God. God is the creator of everything, and even his action of creating is one that only God does; everything else is a creature that is limited in space and time, and an infinite gap exists between the creatures and the infinite, uncreated, and eternal God. At the same time, all of creation and everything within creation is sustained in existence by the infinite presence of God. He is within everything, and yet without being merely one thing among the rest of creatures. He sustains all creatures, but they do not sustain him in the least.
