What good is the Holy Spirit, why?


From The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit by Mitch Finley (Liguori Publications):

. . .we might want to give some thought to this "Holy Spirit" business.

If you have ever witnessed the birth of a child or the death of someone you love--if you have ever known the deep goodness of shared physical pleasure in a loving, lasting marriage--if you have ever been touched by the words of Scripture--or if a liturgy ever nourished you in places you had forgotten you had--if the words of a friend were ever just the words you needed most to hear--if you have ever felt deeply at peace for no apparent reason--if you have ever vented your anger directly to God and been relieved and a little surprised at how right it felt--if you have ever been able to pray when prayer seemed impossible--then you might want to learn more about the Holy Spirit.
