Catholic Questions - Holy Spirit

What is the Holy Spirit like?

When I was in school, I learned a lot about the Holy Spirit. For example, l learned that the Holy Spirit:

• Is the third person in the Trinity
• Was experienced in a powerful way on Pentecost by the early followers of Jesus
• Is given to us in Baptism (and strengthened in us in Confirmation) that we may be holy and true

All these are important and good, but I know more about the Holy Spirit than what I learned in school because, in my life, I've actually met the Holy Spirit! I've experience the Spirit as:

• The love that burns inside me for God's people
• The wisdom that guides my living
• The power that moves me to forgive and be forgiven
• The peace that I can know even in hard times
• The joy that l find in my heart from following Jesus

While I can say so much more about how l have experienced the Holy Spirit, I ask you: What words would you use? How have you experienced the Spirit in your life?
