Summary

Fr. Mike continues to examine the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit’s mission. We explore the joint mission of the Son and the Holy Spirit. When the Son and the Spirit act, they act together. Fr. Mike emphasizes that though the Son and the Spirit are two distinct persons, they are inseparable. We also examine the proper name of the Holy Spirit and the different titles we use for the Holy Spirit. Today’s readings from the Catechism are paragraphs 689-693.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Catechism in a Year podcast,
0:09.4	where we encounter God's plan of shared goodness for us revealed in scripture and passed down
0:14.0	through the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a Year is brought to you by
0:17.6	Ascension. In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic
0:21.9	Church discovering our identity in God's family as we journey together toward our heavenly home.
0:26.5	It is day 98. You guys, we're so close to Day 100. This is amazing. We're reading paragraphs 689 to
0:32.2	693 in the heart of the Holy Spirit. So good. I'm using, as always, the Ascension edition of
0:36.9	the Catechism, which includes the foundations of faith approach. You can follow along with any
0:41.1	recent version of the catechism of the Catholic Church. You can also download your own

1:09.7	We're just going to get to the names and titles of the Holy Spirit. But what we mean by paragraph 689 to 690,
1:16.8	the joint mission of the Son and the Spirit is that, man, this is incredible. When the Son and the
1:23.2	Spirit act, they act together. We also recognize, of course, they are distinct. They are two
1:27.7	of the three divine persons in the Most Holy Trinity. So they're distinct. The church always
1:33.1	professes the distinction of persons. At the same time, this is paragraph 689. When the father sends
1:39.6	his word, he also sends his breath. And I think that's such a poetic, but also you can see how that's the case.
1:46.6	And I think that might have been like a St. Augustine kind of an example.
