INSIGHT

Joint Mission of Son and Spirit

  • The Holy Spirit and the Son have a joint mission, acting together yet remaining distinct.
  • They are inseparable in their actions, though distinct persons of the Trinity.
INSIGHT

Holy Spirit's Name

  • The Holy Spirit's proper name is used in baptism, derived from the Hebrew "ruach."
  • "Spirit" and "holy" are attributes of all three divine persons, but together they uniquely designate the Holy Spirit.
ANECDOTE

Anointing Analogy

  • St. Gregory of Nissa uses anointing oil as an analogy: just as oil directly touches the body, the Son and Spirit are in immediate contact.
  • Encountering the Son through faith necessitates encountering the Holy Spirit.
