Our Best Friend (The Holy Spirit)

 The Holy Spirit is God’s Marines Best Friend because He dwells within us personally if we are in a state of Grace.  He loves us with a most tender and infinite love.  He longs to fill us with His love and all we have to do is to ask for the Grace.  He will pour His love into us and fill us with all consolations if we but ask Him to.  Our one desire should be to be filled with the Love of God.  This love is the Holy Spirit.  As God’s Marines we are already filled with many graces in our pursuit of bringing souls to Jesus.  It is through our Best Friend, the Holy Spirit that our paralytics will get the grace to be healed, converted, and saved.  We must ask Him to fill us with Love as well as our paralytics.  We should always contemplate the reality that the Holy Spirit dwells within us.  We are temples of the Holy Spirit, Through Him we are purified, sanctified, deified. 

“The Holy Ghost impresses on us the divine image and gives us superhuman loveliness.  We are temples of the Holy Spirit, who truly lives in us.  On this account we are called gods.  Because of our union with the Holy Ghost, we share the divine, incomprehensible nature of God.” (St. Cyril)

“Those who love the Holy Ghost experience every kind of happiness within themselves.  The Holy Ghost leads us like a mother leads her little child, or like a person with sight leads a blind man.  Those who love the Holy Ghost find prayer so delightful that they cannot find sufficient time to pray.” (St. John Vianney)

The Holy Spirit remains with us forever and ever.

Excerpt from the Holy Ghost Our Greatest Friend by Fr. Paul Sullivan OP    

“We are bound to love and adore Him in our souls as really and truly as we are bound to adore Jesus Christ on the Altar.  Nay, more; as an eminent Dominican theologian remarks, we have in a way a greater obligation to adore the Holy Ghost in our souls than to adore Jesus Christ on the altar, because if we fail to honor Jesus Christ on the altar, many others who enter the church will adore Him, so that He will not be abandoned and left alone.  But if we fail to adore, honor and love the Holy Ghost in our souls, He is completely abandoned and left alone.  No one can take our place.  This is our personal obligation. 

     What an immense joy and consolation it is, we repeat, for us to know that the Holy Ghost is really, truly and personally in our souls.  We are His living tabernacles.  He is always with us. It seems incredible that few Christians realize this wonderful truth.  They never think of the Holy Ghost during the long hours of the day; much less do they honor Him during the night, during their seven or eight hours of sleep. 

     But how can they honor the Holy Ghost when they are asleep?  By realizing that He is with them when asleep and by offering their sleep in His honor, as we shall explain later on. 

    What a joy it would be to them if at night when they awaken, and sometimes when they remain awake for hours at a time, they spoke lovingly to Him and enjoyed His presence.

    And again how consoling for the sick, when suffering and alone, if they felt that the Holy Ghost Himself was really and truly with them.  They never perhaps heard of this beautiful doctrine.”

What to do my brothers?  Never forget your Best friend.  It is important to talk with your Best Friend, spend time with Him, ask Him for the greatest gift He can give you.  The gift of Holy Love for with the Gift of Love we can obtain all else besides.



The Holy Spirit is the master of prayer, and causes us to abide in continual peace and cheerfulness, which is a foretaste of Paradise….If we wish the Holy Spirit to teach us how to pray, we must practise humility and obedience…The fruit we ought to get from prayer, is to do what is pleasing to the Lord.~St. Phillip Neri

A great way to keep the Holy Spirit always present with you is to have a medal of the Holy Spirit with you at all times, it is a silent prayer and it is better to carry it in your hand then wear it around your neck. Of Course I recommend the Ultimate Decade Rosary which has ten medals including the Holy Spirit Medal!

We may in fact be falling short if we do not understand and remember that the Holy Spirit is always with us and that the Holy Spirit is Love, among other things.

The Holy Ghost leads us like a mother leads her little child, (St.Vianney)
I always think of the Spirit of Truth...Jesus said that He will send thru His Father the Adovace/Helper...
The Spirit of Truth will testify the Fullness of Truth of who Jesus is...
This promised puzzled me and interest me...So who is the Spirit of Truth?
In my deeper reflections At the Upper Room, who among the Apostles can testify to the Fullness of Truth of who Jesus is? From Womb to Tomb...From Beginning to End (Alpha & Omega)....
I personally believe that the Spirit of Truth CHOSEN Mama Mary from Eternity too...like Ephesians1:3-4)...

How? Mama Mary experienced Glorious Transformation of Her Immaculate Body after receiving the Holy Eucharist like the Glorious Body of Jesus Christ after Resurrection...that enables the Holy Spirit to effect the Infinite Mystical Union...This reflections is the answer why Mama Mary knows every prayers of the soul...making Her Intercession fully the work of the Omniscient & Omnipotent Holy Spirit.
Godbless.S&IHMMP4us.Amen
