At Pentecost, Jesus comes back in a way that no one can harm Him. From Genesis to Apocalypse, though silent and invisible, The Holy Spirit gives us eternal life. We should say the Acts of Holy Spirit instead of the Acts of the Apostles. John acknowledges that it was in the Spirit that he called efficiently seven Churches to conversion (Apocalypse 1:9 - 3:22). - Curious! - When “holy spirit” is not written in capital letters, the phrase means the opposite of negativity. In any society, we find a bad influence that tampers on the free will of citizens to promote the Common Good. Where there is not a “holy spirit”, there is sadness, pessimism, corruption, and the stealing of Public Funds.
In the beginning of creation:
The Holy Spirit brought order out of the primordial disorder. God formed the human being, breathed, and the human being became fully alive: knowledgeable and happy participant in divinity (Genesis1:2 & 2:7).
Art is similar to Creation:
The Holy Spirit is the Origin of all sorts of artistic works: “The Lord said, (…) 2 I have filled Bezalel (…) 3 with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge (…) 4 to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 (…) ’” (Exodus 31:1-5). Art brings order to Chaos. An artist sees what others do not see and obeys to God’s inspiration. An artist accepts God’s guidance. He or she brings hope to others, shows gratitude to God, and manifests God’s presence in daily life. Art is also a prophetic expression of God’s assistance to humanity. A prophet never gives up. He or she is not blocked by powerlessness.
The Holy Spirit is:
The “Alter Ego of Jesus Christ.” – There are one. He helps us remember all Jesus’ teachings and guides us in the dynamic of conversation intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and in innovative technology. The Holy Spirit increases our familiarity with God, draws us closer to one another including the rest of creation. We receive inner joy not depending on external circumstances. In persecutions, misunderstanding, etc. we keep entirely our cheerfulness.
Synodality
At Pentecost, we understand what the Spirit tells us in silence. He helps us build synodality and contribute to a continuous growth of humanity. We become able to listen really, to think really, and to meditate before talking. - Artificial Intelligence prevents us from thinking. - People repeat information coming from everywhere. The Holy Spirit connects us to our Creator. We value humility, practical wisdom, faithfulness, and human dignity for all without any kind of discrimination. Even when some people act as if God does not exist, The Holy Spirit connects us to The Holy Trinity.
