The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Blessed Trinity. It was revealed by Jesus himself, who said: "Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19).
The Holy Spirit:
* spoke through the Prophets
* inspired the holy writers of the Bible
* conceived Jesus in the womb of the Virgin Mary
* descended upon him at the Baptism in the Jordan like a dove.
Finally, the Holy Spirit descended upon the Virgin Mary and the apostles on Pentecost Day like tongues of fire: "These separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:4).
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are seven:
1) Wisdom
2) Understanding
3) Council
4) Strength
5) Knowledge
6) piety
7) Fear of the Lord
