This document discusses the Holy Spirit and its role in the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation. It describes how the Holy Spirit gives gifts and fruits to believers, including wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. The document also references Acts, where Jesus promised the disciples the Holy Spirit, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues on the day of Pentecost. It asks how the Holy Spirit has worked in the Church since Pentecost.

6. (CCC 1830) The gifts of the Holy
Spirit “are permanent dispositions
which make man docile in following
the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
(Is, 11 2-3) The Spirit of the Lord will
rest on that Branch.
The Spirit will help him to be wise
and understanding.
(Wisdom, Understanding)
The Spirit will help him make wise
plans and carry them out.
(Counsel, Fortitude)
The Spirit will help him know the
Lord and have respect for him.
(Knowledge, Piety)
The Branch will take delight in
respecting the Lord.
(Fear of the Lord)

7.  (CCC 1832) “The fruits of the Spirit
are perfections that the Holy Spirit
forms in us as the first fruits of
eternal glory.”
 (Gal 5, 22-25) But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-
control. Against such there is no
law. And those who are Christ’s
have crucified the flesh with its
passions and desires. If we live in
the Spirit, let us also walk in the
Spirit.

8. When you are baptized with the Holy Spirit, you will receive strength, power and boldness from God to accomplish
your mission.

9. Acts of the
Apostles 1
Acts 2
The Holy Spirit Promised
4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not
to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the
Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly
baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not
many days from now.”
Coming of the Holy Spirit
2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one
accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven,
as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they
were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire,
and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance.

11. (I Cor 12, 4-11)
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
There are differences of ministries, but the same
Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it
is the same God who works all in all. But the
manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for
the profit of all: for to one is given the word of
wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of
knowledge through the same Spirit, to another
faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of
healings by the same Spirit, to another the
working of miracles, to another prophecy, to
another discerning of spirits, to another
different kinds of tongues, to another the
interpretation of tongue. But one and the same
Spirit works all these things, distributing to each
one individually as He wills.
