I appreciate the information, but I am aware of the basic teachings regarding the Trinity, so I do know that they are three Persons yet one God. (Not that I’ll claim to be an expert on the subject of the Trinity, considering that it is a great mystery of the faith.) Also, I read Scripture regularly, and am fairly familiar with what Christ said so I do know that the Holy Spirit was sent to the Church to guide and comfort it until the Lord returns. Anyway, I’ll try to clarify what I’m asking.
When Christians read Sacred Scripture, particularly the New Testament, they are able to meet the Lord in a very special way. The Gospels tell us about His earthly life as the Incarnation, the Epistles help to explain our faith in Him and what His life means to us, Revelation gives us a glimpse of God’s plan for creation and the final defeat of evil. The Old Testament books in their own turn point forward to the Messiah and also teach us about God through the Law and the Prophets.
All of this is extremely helpful to gaining better understanding of God. And, since the Holy Spirit is God, it gives us a better understanding of the Holy Spirit. But I feel as if there are many more instances in Scripture when God the Father or Jesus Christ are mentioned explicitly. As a result I feel like I know those two distinct Persons of the Trinity better than I know the Holy Spirit.
What I wanted to find out is if there are any good Catholic books out there concerning the Holy Spirit. I know there are at least a handful of books out there about the Holy Spirit, but many of them seem to be from a Protestant perspective. I was looking for something I could have a little more confidence in, preferrably something that the Church has given an imprimatur if possible.
