Many thanks to Norbert for an fantastic session with some great information that provided for a very thought provoking session. Summary as provided by Norbert is as follows:
We discussed names and symbols of the Holy Spirit, amongst
them the dove, water, flames of fire, and the anointment with oil.
Then we discussed the role of the Holy Spirit in the Scripture and Church.
We Catholics believe that the Holy Spirit is fully God and fully a person.
In the Old Testament the Spirit was only given to selected people
(priests, prophets and leaders). After Jesus' death and resurrection,
he sent us all the Holy Spirit as our counselor, comforter and helper.
As "true
children of God'' we all receive diverse gifts and the same fruit from
the Holy Spirit.
Together, we are all members of one Church (like different parts of one
body).
Being open to the Holy Spirit, each of us can individually become a temple
of the Holy Spirit.
