Ask the Clergy
Q. What role does the Holy Spirit play in your life?
A. The Bible makes many references to the many roles the Holy Spirit plays in the lives of the faithful -- from speaking through the prophets, providing wisdom and counsel, and being the creative or active force of the Holy Trinity, inspiring us to create beautiful works of art, poetry, and even gracious hospitality towards others. It is the Spirit who teaches us how to pray and then intercedes on our behalf when we don’t know how or what to pray. The Spirit helps to mold/fold our conscience and guides us along our faith journey. And consoles us when we grieve.
For me, personally, the Holy Spirit provides inspiration for my homilies, for the column I write in the diocesan newspaper, the Byte, each month, and even my responses to the “Ask the Clergy” questions on our parish website.
The Holy Spirit has given me a spirit of courage (that I can attest I did not possess prior to my confirmation), has guided me in discerning my vocation to become a permanent deacon and has even provided words to speak when I needed to speak truth to power on behalf of justice.
The Spirit is full of surprises -- appearing when needed. We just have to trust and be open to be used for God’s purpose. And then, with gratitude, give God the glory that is his due.
