The Experience of Spirit

REFLECTION


When I was still a college seminarian every time we had a summer apostolate in our own parish my parish priest immediately assigned us in the barrio to conduct or to facilitate seminar of the sacrament of confirmation. On that event we had to prepare assigned topics for us to give. Indeed through this experience it is really challenging in a sense I could able to develop my self- esteem and how to face people specially to talk in front of them and to able them to understand my own topic in the sacrament of confirmation.
And while preparing my own topic, one of the things that I really like to give during the seminar is the work of the Holy Spirit in the Church. Perhaps as I read through out the booklet that we have, it is also then I know some works of the Holy Spirit, and merely the function of the Holy Spirit in some other way.
Furthermore there are examples in which the work of the Holy Spirit has, like a Spirit of Ammonia, A team Spirit, etc. What does it mean the Spirit of Ammonia, if a certain person happens to collapse the spirit of ammonia used in order to restore his or her memory.
Perhaps, the team Spirit is to signify the spirit of individuals and by which the spirit present in them us a team who give them courage and strength to won such game, to give them strength to pursue and continue the game even of hardship. In fact as I reflected on that matter, Holy Spirit really has its work present in the Church as it strengthen the church to continue to be Holy, continue spreading the gospel through out the humanity.
Moreover, as I continue my formation it deepens more and more my understanding with regard to the Holy Spirit. As Holy Spirit works in the Church it is to continue the revelation of Christ as to represent, to reminds, to internalize and to actualize. Through the work of the Holy Spirit to represent it means the revelation of Christ still present with us in our memory. To remind means to recall the work and deeds of Christ. To internalize that Jesus is with in us, and lastly to actualize means to understand the truths of Jesus teaching and in application into our situation.
Furthermore, as a challenge for me as I understand the function of the Holy Spirit merely to remind my self being a Christians to be faithful to believe in Jesus, to represent as also what the work of the Holy Spirit to be present with in, to internalized all the moral values which I received from the seminary formation with the aide of the Holy Spirit, and to actualized not only for the self but for the others. A relationship towards others, in sharing what I have as what also the Holy Spirit as the bearer of faith to all believers.
