The Holy Spirit is like an invisible (but REAL) friend that stays with us 24/7. The Holy Spirit HELPS and TEACHES us to be more like Jesus and COMFORTS us when we feel lonely, scared or sad.
The Fruits of the Holy Spirit involve
actions and behaviours that prove that the Holy Spirit lives inside us. We think of the Fruits as the qualities of someone who tries hard to be the best Catholic/Christian they can be!
Loving God, ourselves, others (even if we don't get along with them) and Creation. We must be unselfish and caring to all.
The Holy Spirit has also been represented in the Bible many other ways too:
* Powerful & quick like the WIND (Acts 2: 1-2)
* Bright & purifying like FIRE (Acts 2:3-4)
*Quenches our thirst for God like WATER (Jn 7: 38 -39)
*Gentle & comforting like a DOVE (Lk 3:22)
*Healing like OIL (ACts 10: 36-38)
Being happy following Jesus' teaching.
Celebrating God's love and all that He does
for us.
Having a positive outlook on life.
"When the day of Pentecost had come, they were
all together in one place. And suddenly a sound came
from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it
filled all the house where they were sitting. And
there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
distributed and resting on each one of them."
Acts 2: 1-3
In Acts 2: 1-2 The Holy Spirit was revealed like
a very gusty wind and individual flames of fire that sat on sat disciples' head, which gave them the ability to preach in different languages so everyone could hear the Word of God.
a (spiritual) form through which God makes Himself
present to us in our lives. God has also made Himself
known to us through Jesus - this is God's human
form.
