The
Now lef s use our reason. Let's think about those words: 'The
What do we thirst for more than anything else in the world? Iife. We want as much life as we can get. We want
happy life, a healthy life. EverythinS we hope for is somehow summarized in that powerful word, "life."
a
tong life, a
ln everyday slang we speak of 'having a life." We all worry about'the meaning of life.' We especialty like to tell annoying
people to ..go get a life." We make big plans for our future. We spend huge ener8y and resources to 'build a life." And yet the
Church has been telling us all along that the Holy Spirit is none other than the "8ivef of life," a kind of fusion engine of love who
runs the whole thin8. 5o maybe we should pay a little more attention to Him.
pope John paul, one ofthe patrons of this World Youth Day, wrote a letter to the Catholic bishops and peoph of the world
abouttheHolySpirit, Heentitledit,quitesensibly,TheLordandGiverof Life. Inhisletter,JohnPaul remindedusthatJesus
revealed Himself with these words from Scripture: "l am the Way and the Truth and the Life" (John 14:6).
so if the Holy spirit is the giver of life, it means He's the one that brings us to a full understandinS and union with the real Jesus
Christ: not with the "nice guy'' or interesting teacher that the world would prefer iesus to be, but the true Jesus Christ who is
the only Son of the Father, the Saviour of the world, and the source of all life and happiness for you, for me and for all
humanity.
Catholic imagery usually shows the Holy Spirit as a dove. That's the way He's described in the Gospels: a. dove descending over
Jesus during his baptism. But have you ever wondered, Why a dove? Maybe one of the reasons is that there's nothing
threatening about a dove. A dove typically embodies purity, beauty and gentleness. The kindness of the Holy Spirit operating
in ourlivesisexactly the opposite ofthe violence that the wotld and devil rely on.

One must not pronounce the name of God
irreverently. For we know him only because he
has entrusted himsetf to us. The Hoty Name,
after at[, is the key to the heart of the
Atmighty. Therefore it is a terribte offense to
blaspheme Cod, to Curse using Cod's name, or
to make false promises in his name. The
Second Commandment is therefore atso a
commandment
that protects "Hotiness"
in
general. Ptaces, things, names and peopte who
have been touched by Cod are "ho[y".
Sensitivity to what is hoty is ca[[ed reverence.
Respect for his name is an expression of the
respect owed to the mystery of God himsetf
and to the whole sacred reality it evokes. The
