Objective: Students will learn about the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, and how He works in the Church and in our souls.

They will understand:

• That the Holy Spirit is true God, equal with the Father and the Son, and one with them in the Blessed Trinity.
• That Jesus revealed the Holy Spirit and promised to send Him to guide and strengthen His followers.
• That the Holy Spirit inspired the writers of Sacred Scripture and helps the Church remain faithful to Christ’s teachings.
• That we first receive the Holy Spirit at Baptism, when God’s life enters our souls.
• That the gifts of the Holy Spirit are strengthened in us at Confirmation so we can live as courageous witnesses of Christ.
• That at Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles and gave them courage to preach the Gospel.
• That the Holy Spirit gives us grace, wisdom, and guidance to help us choose what is good and avoid sin.
