The H.S. proceeds from “the Father and the Son” (the Nicene Creed).

Read Theology For Beginners by F.J. Sheed. It has a great chapter on the Trinity.

The persons of the Trinity are eternal. They don’t “come from one source”, then, as that would imply that one (the Father) precedes the Son and Holy Spirit in time. I’d second the recommendation to read Theology for Beginners.
