Does anyone have a relationship with the Holy Spirit of God? I have heard of many saints having the most complete relatinehips with the Holy Spirit.

God bless

our relationship is basically I need to listen to the Holy Spirit, I am dense, He hits me with a baseball bat, I wake up and move.

I had a very imtimate meeting with the Holy Spirit back in June when He “awoken me” to my spiritual life. I had a Damacus Road expierence and it was the best expierence of my life! God bless all of you!

I have to admit…

I am worried about sitting down with this particular member of the Trinity…

One to many bad experiences with Charismatics and there barking, oinking and acting like they needed to be in an asylum.

I know it’s wrong of me to transfer that to the Holy Spirit but there it is. Mayhaps it is time for me to meet this Aspect of Our Lord.

My relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Well looking back, I feel it is the many hardships in my life that have left me the neediest for Christ and when I am feeling that needy the presence of the Holy Spirit is the most real.
Resting in His arms, holding His hand, feeling His arm around my shoulders. All these are quite real to me. A real presence. There are some people I can’t talk to about this. I have tried once or twice only to get that look like I must have totally lost my mind. But I do believe that the more needy and isolated I feel, which happens often with my being so sick, the more real His presence is. And His presence, that is the Holy Spirit, talks to me. It is so beautiful the conversations I have with Him…alot of times all in my mind.
Good topic!
God bless you!!!

No need to be I’m sure our Popes who are guided by the Holy Spirit mostly have a deep relationship with Him, never heard of any of them indulging in the behaviours you’ve mentioned.

I simply try to ask for the Spirit’s guidance in everything that I do each day, especially if something is difficult or confusing. And I pray the Litany of the Holy Spirit each day.

OnOne good place to start is to study what the Catechism and the Scriptures say about the nature and action of the Holy Spirit

I am very sad to hear about this. I was introduced to the charisma through the Charismatic movement, and I have seen a number of objectionable things at prayer meetings, but never somthing so obnoxious being atrributed to the Spirit of Grace.

The following is merely my own personal experience and not proven.

Back when I was 16, and Baptist, I was going through an especially rough time. I went to church with my mom one night. At the end of the service they had a “laying of hands” on the sick, including my mom. Everything about that felt wrong to me, so I stayed sitting in the very back of the church. Ignoring whatever was going on in the church, I instead pleaded and begged God to show Himself to me. To let me know he was still there and wasn’t going to leave me alone. Suddenly, I felt a strong large hand on my left shoulder. It was immensely calming. I sat back and after a moment it went away. Once it did, I quickly looked behind me to find what I already knew; no one was there. I feel that was the Holy Spirit.

I never had such a grand experience again until I began attending Mass. The grand wonder of emotions I feel at this time can only come from God. He never left me.

Hey brother don’t worry, when I first got into this form of prayer meeting I thought it was good, toooo good but when they started speaking different languages, whaaaaat I thought they were english but the…​

But then I…I…I yes I found the Holy Spirit, He showed me His presence, and it was all different. He took me to the bible where He showed me that it was He who filled Jesus, gave Him strength, the one who Jesus promised to send, the one who without, WE are NOT able to do God’s work. That’s right Jesus told the goats to be gone those evil doers they might have done works of God in healing, deliverence but there was NO love. It wa not lead by the Holy Spirit.

OK brother? that’s why we need HIm He is the indicator , Jesus is the instigater. That’s why Jesus tells us we need to throw away our learned books to let Him show us from the heart, I learned the hard way. 7 years at Uni and God doesn’t need any of it, He wants and demands my A-V-A-I-L-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y. Yes the only human thing we can give to our God.

You are right I know there are those who may believe that they are holy of holys in the charismatic ariener but that is part of their learning not for us to judge.
Hey God bless

It happened in July 2006 when I finally paid attention to the Lord’s Prayer - - and that was when I started to read Bible with all my heart.

It is at every mass when I receive the Holy Eucharist. It is the Body and Blood of Christ that I receive but His Spirit also dwells in me.

The blessing of constant thinking of the Trinity keeps me closer to the Holy Spirit.

Also, it is the Blessed Virgin Mary who brings me closer to the Holy Spirit.

homewardbound, I had something similar to yours and until now I wasn’t sure if it was all in my head or what…but when I was praying and my mind was thinking of Him…and all of a sudden I heard a voice whispering into my ear “I love you”. It was a man voice…warm…

At that moment, I wasn’t sure if I was imagining but I just replied to the voice saying that “I love you too Lord.”…

It hasn’t happened again since.

I am trying to develop a good relationship with the Holy Spirit, an active one. He is the most neglected member of the Holy Trinity. And yet, he is so loving, good and wonderful that all of us ought to have a daily prayer relationship with this wonderful Holy Spirit. I found a good prayer to the Holy Spirit on a holy card. It goes like this:

O, Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul,…I adore You.
Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me.
Tell me what I should do.
Give me Your orders.
I promise to submit myself to all that You desire of me
and to accept all that You permit to happen to me.
Let me only know Your will.
Amen.

I try to pray that a few times each day.

it is like any other important intimate relationship, I could be always responsive to the other Person, always in communication with Him, always aware of Him, or I could ignore Him until I want something from Him, ignore what He tells me unless and until it conforms with my own wants and desires, be obstinate and uncooperative, and then complain that He doesn’t do things my way. If that Person loves me, He will continue to try to get through to me, to communicate His love and concern. He will never force me, but He might very well ramp up His communication efforts.

I just melt in your words to our most Holy and Anointed Spirit of our living God. How precious how glorious how, I cannot find the words for the most Whole Spirit of our Loving God. Give me all the best roses the, it doesn’t matter. I came to work tonight in wreck and ruins and to see these words and my heart is full again thank you.

Godbless
