RUAH – Breathe through me Holy Spirit
Take a look at how the Holy Spirit has touched and changed so many lives in the Bible and see how He can touch you!
Do you truly believe that the Holy Spirit exists or is it an invention of Christianity? If He exists can He help you? How can you learn more about the Holy Spirit?
If any of these questions have crossed your mind, find your answers by joining our prayer community every two weeks. We will look at how, when and why the Holy Spirit was revealed in the Scriptures and what impact He can have in our life today.
In the book of Genesis, the Holy Spirit was translated from the Hebrew word “Ruah” which means breath, air or wind. As Saint John Paul II said in his general audience in 1990:
...breath is the most immaterial reality we perceive; it cannot be seen; it is intangible; it cannot be grasped by the hand; it seems to be nothing, and yet it is vitally important. The person who does not breathe cannot live. The difference between a living person and a dead one is that the former has breath and the latter no longer does. Life comes from God. Hence breath, too, comes from him and he can take it away (cf. Ps 104 [1O3]:29-30).
If we take a look at the Bible, the first book, Genesis, begins with the Holy Spirit in the first chapter and the last book, Revelation, ends with the Holy Spirit in the last chapter. The Bible is ‘THE BOOK' that Christianity is based upon and it begins and ends with the Holy Spirit! Even though we cannot see the Holy Spirit, He has an essential role in revealing God's promise and love for each of us.
The Catechism says
“power over life pertains to the Spirit, for being God He preserves creation in the Father through the Son” (CCC 703).
