The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity.
The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force, energy, or symbol. He is a divine Person, equal to the Father and the Son, and together with them is one God. Throughout Scripture, the Holy Spirit acts personally: He speaks, guides, teaches, comforts, and sanctifies God's people. The Holy Spirit was active in creation, inspired the prophets, descended upon Jesus at His Baptism, and was poured out upon the Church at Pentecost. Today, the Holy Spirit continues to dwell within the Church and within the souls of those who are in God's grace. Through His work, believers receive spiritual gifts, grow in holiness, understand divine truth, and are strengthened to live as faithful disciples of Christ. The Holy Spirit is often called the Sanctifier because He helps God's people become holy and draws them into deeper communion with the Father and the Son.
To believe in the Holy Spirit is to profess that the Holy Spirit is one of the Persons of the Holy Trinity, consubstantial with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit reveals Christ, sanctifies the Church, and brings believers into communion with God.
John 14:26
But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
