The Spiritual Life, Episode 5: The Indwelling of the Holy Ghost

The Spiritual Life, Episode 5: The Indwelling of the Holy Ghost Like a tender father, Our Divine Savior told His Apostles before His glorious Ascension into Heaven: “I will not leave you orphans: I will come to you…Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more. But you see me: because I live, and you shall live.” Our Lord said that it was expedient for them that He go. Our Lord would depart from them but He was to return in a new way; not in the flesh, for He took His glorified Body into Heaven, but He was to return and `abide with them in the Spirit. Christ would send into their souls the Paraclete, that is, the Consoler and Advocate, a Divine Friend – the Holy Ghost, the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity. Sanctifying grace makes the just soul a partaker of the divine nature and supernaturally adopted child of God – grace makes the soul a temple of the Holy Ghost – not only of the Holy Ghost but the entire Holy Trinity. Almighty God literally dwells in the soul in grace. This presence is a real presence. This is a fundamental and beautiful truth of the Catholic Faith that is so fruitful for the interior life of the soul. Join Nicholas Wansbutter and Father Bernard Uttley, in this 5th episode of The Spiritual Life, as they discuss the Ascension of Our Lord, the mystery of the decent of the Holy Ghost, and ultimately the divine indwelling of the Holy Trinity in the soul in sanctifying grace.
