And so that’s the Holy Spirit as presented in the words of the Creed. It is like the air we breathe, so hard to notice because we have been in it, but more than air, it is air from God, breath of God that changes and inspires us from inside.  Jesus gives a very clear, direct and beautiful promise that the Holy Spirit will come even nearer to God’s faithful when he leaves. ‘I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.  (Jn 14:25-27)
