The Holy Spirit dwells in us
and makes us aware of God’s presence in us.

 
St. Cyril of Alexandria, 5th century

Light floods the soul of the one counted worthy
of receiving the Holy Spirit, and enables him
to see things beyond the range of human vision,
things up to now, undreamed of.

 
St. Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th century

Through the Holy Spirit we become citizens of heaven,
we are admitted to the company of angels,
we enter into eternal happiness, and abide in God.

 
St. Basil the Great, 4th century

The Holy Spirit pours forth his grace
in full measure sufficient for all,
and yet is present as though exclusively
to everyone who is willing to welcome him.

 
St. Basil, 4th century

The Holy Spirit is a power most mighty,
living and intelligent.

 
St. Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th century

The Spirit comes
with the tenderness of a true friend and protector
to save, to heal, to teach, to counsel,
to strengthen, and to console.

 
St. Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th century

Don’t allow any sadness to dwell in your soul,
for sadness prevents the Holy Spirit from acting freely.

 
St. Pio of Pietrelcina, 20th century

The Spirit is always speaking to us deep in our hearts,
if only we listen.
