As a Catholic, we believe that there is only one God but it has three Persons, the Father, the Son(Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. This is called "HOLY TRINITY". When Jesus ascended into heaven, he promised his disciples that he will send Holy Spirit to them. The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit are
:
- Wisdom
- Understanding
- Right Judgement
- Courage
- Knowledge
- Reverence
- Wonder and awe in God’s presence
- Charity
- Joy
- Peace
- Patience
- Kindness
- Goodness
- Generosity
- Gentleness
- Faithfulness
- Modesty
- Self Control
- Chastity
I often use to pray to God for the Gifts and Fruits of Holy Spirit. I believe, as a ordinary human being, we have shortcomings and we often tend to sin. The Pentecost Sunday of Year 2014 was a special day for me, specially in my personal and spiritual life. I attended the Mass at my Parish and received the Holy Communion. While I was praying after receiving Holy Communion, a shadow overpowered me and tears started oozing from my eyes. I felt and understood that it was Holy Spirit who is showering his blessing on me. This was such a experience, which I cannot express in words. My body became light and heart was filled with Peace which I never experienced before. I just said "Thank You Holy Spirit.
