This episode explores the joint mission of the Son and the Holy Spirit, and the names, titles, and symbols of the Holy Spirit within the Catholic faith. Against the backdrop of Day 98 of the "Catechism in a Year" podcast, Fr. Mike Schmitz delves into paragraphs 689-693 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. More significantly, the discussion highlights the inseparable yet distinct nature of the Son and the Holy Spirit in their shared mission, drawing on the analogy of oil and water to illustrate their immediate connection. For instance, Fr. Schmitz explains how the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus, the visible image of the invisible God. The episode further examines the proper name "Holy Spirit," its etymology, and its distinction from the broader attributes of "Spirit" and "Holy" shared among the Trinity. Finally, the discussion covers various titles of the Holy Spirit, such as Paraclete, Advocate, and Consoler, emphasizing their significance in understanding the Holy Spirit's role in believers' lives. This understanding of the Holy Spirit's role deepens the appreciation for the Trinity and its active presence in the lives of believers.
