 17 TheWay,3     |       All these are gifts of the Holy Spirit.~When the Lord decides
 18 TheWay,3     |        comforts and grace of the Holy Spirit are not rewards but
 19 TheWay,3     |         heart is filled with the Holy Spirit, wherever we may
 20 TheWay,3     |         which is inspired by the Holy Spirit.~Therefore, brethren,
 21 TheWay,4     |         help is the Grace of the Holy Spirit. God’s grace surrounds

 23 TheWay,4     |     Jesus Christ’s sake. How the Holy Spirit helps us, what are
 24 TheWay,4     | explained in accordance with the Holy Scriptures.~1. When descending

 26 TheWay,4     |         living faith without the Holy Spirit. Even a person most

 28 TheWay,4     | Descending upon a Christian, the Holy Spirit brings true love
 29 TheWay,4     |         and love, gifts from the Holy Spirit, are such powerful
 30 TheWay,4     |          of Jesus Christ.~3. The Holy Spirit corrects a worldly
 31 TheWay,4     |         without the grace of the Holy Spirit, despite all his
 32 TheWay,4     |       slave of the flesh.~4. The Holy Spirit gives a Christian
 33 TheWay,4     |     obviously in the case of the Holy Apostles. Because of their
 34 TheWay,4     |         after the descent of the Holy Spirit upon them on the
 35 TheWay,4     |        not stand up to them. The Holy Spirit always teaches Christians
 36 TheWay,4     |          act. Thus guided by the Holy Spirit, they will always
 37 TheWay,4     |           even in church.~5. The Holy Spirit gives Christians
 38 TheWay,4     |        hand, who do not have the Holy Spirit, can never truly
 39 TheWay,4     |         alive physically.~6. The Holy Spirit gives true humility.
 40 TheWay,4     |          they do not possess the Holy Spirit, cannot know themselves
 41 TheWay,4     |   righteous ones did not ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and
 42 TheWay,4     |      consequently, perished. The Holy Spirit always comes to those
 43 TheWay,4     |        found within, so does the Holy Spirit, having descended
 44 TheWay,4     |        guidance and help.~7. The Holy Spirit grants true fervent
 45 TheWay,4     |           Until they receive the Holy Spirit, people cannot pray
 46 TheWay,4     |           Christians in whom the Holy Spirit resides, however,
 47 TheWay,4     |         most needed gifts of the Holy Spirit.~In summary, it is
 48 TheWay,4     |    without the assistance of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we should
 49 TheWay,4     | Therefore, we should implore the Holy Spirit with all earnestness
 50 TheWay,4     |        us, just as He helped the Holy Apostles. In order for the
 51 TheWay,4     |       Apostles. In order for the Holy Spirit to be kind toward
 52 TheWay,4     |       Jesus Christ said that the Holy Spirit blows where it wills
 53 TheWay,4     |          person cannot force the Holy Spirit to come to him or
 54 TheWay,4     |        Acts states that when the Holy Apostles and other Christians
 55 TheWay,4     |        received the gifts of the Holy Spirit, it was always unexpectedly.
 56 TheWay,4     |        descent! The Grace of the Holy Spirit is a gift of His
 57 TheWay,4     |          by the giver.~It is the Holy Spirit Himself Who established
 58 TheWay,4     |   blessings to the faithful: the Holy Mysteries and other liturgical
 59 TheWay,4     |          suits them, receive the Holy Spirit through well-known
 60 TheWay,4     |         terrible sin against the Holy Spirit.~Anyone who considers
 61 TheWay,4     |         who considers asking the Holy Spirit for beneficial gifts
 62 TheWay,4     |      then bestowed upon them the Holy Spirit. Similarly, the Apostles
 63 TheWay,4     |          why the Lord called the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Truth,
 64 TheWay,4     |         receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit:~ ~Purity of heart
 65 TheWay,4     |          Self-denial~Reading the Holy Scriptures~Sacraments of
 66 TheWay,4     |        of the Church, especially Holy Communion~ ~To receive gifts
 67 TheWay,4     |        To receive gifts from the Holy Spirit, you must, first
 68 TheWay,4     |        self-love, and pride. The Holy Spirit always surrounds
 69 TheWay,4     |          path. Any sin keeps the Holy Spirit away from us, but
 70 TheWay,4     |        So, if we do not want the Holy Spirit, Whom we received
 71 TheWay,4     |          to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. When a person is
 72 TheWay,4     |   internally and externally, the Holy Spirit settles within him.
 73 TheWay,4     |        the only obstacle for the Holy Spirit is your pride in
 74 TheWay,4     |      will be able to receive the Holy Spirit.~2. One of the surest
 75 TheWay,4     |    surest ways of attracting the Holy Spirit is by humility. Even
 76 TheWay,4     |       love, which stems from the Holy Spirit, gives value to our
 77 TheWay,4     |          love, i.e., without the Holy Spirit, is not yet a fully
 78 TheWay,4     |    valued good deed. Without the Holy Spirit a person remains
 79 TheWay,4     |     courage to bear them.~3. The Holy Spirit can also be received
 80 TheWay,4     |          the voice of God in the Holy Spirit and to follow His
 81 TheWay,4     |          His admonitions.~4. The Holy Spirit can be received through
 82 TheWay,4     |   available means to receive the Holy Spirit. Because we are composed
 83 TheWay,4     |         is not enough. It is the Holy Spirit who makes our prayer
 84 TheWay,4     |      saints who, inspired by the Holy Spirit, stood day and night
 85 TheWay,4     |        feel a sweet comfort. The Holy Spirit will have mercy on
 86 TheWay,4     |      your efforts at prayer.~The Holy Scripture teaches: Pray
 87 TheWay,4     |       struggle with them. As the Holy Fathers have explained,
 88 TheWay,4     |     openly (Matt. 6:3-4).~6. The Holy Spirit may be received by
 89 TheWay,4     |     reading and listening to the Holy Scriptures. Being the Word
 90 TheWay,4     |    enlightenment and wisdom. The Holy Scriptures are one of God’
 91 TheWay,4     |        of people, while studying Holy Scripture, were enlightened,
 92 TheWay,4     |   received abundant gifts of the Holy Spirit even while some scholars
 93 TheWay,4     |          intelligentsia read the Holy Scripture and became confused
 94 TheWay,4     |        Therefore, in reading the Holy Scriptures, lay aside all
 95 TheWay,4     |        who speaks to you through Holy Scripture, and beseech Jesus
 96 TheWay,4     |         many other books besides Holy Scripture that are beneficial
 97 TheWay,4     |        reading: the works of the Holy Fathers, the lives of the
 98 TheWay,4     |          those that are based on Holy Scripture and are in accord
 99 TheWay,4     |         source for receiving the Holy Spirit. Regarding it, Jesus
100 TheWay,4     |       When Christians partake of Holy Communion they unite inexplicably
101 TheWay,4     |     their heart, they accept the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly
102 TheWay,4     |       among us seldom partake of Holy Communion, sometimes avoiding
103 TheWay,4     |        Those who neglect to take Holy Communion do not love Jesus
104 TheWay,4     |         and will not receive the Holy Spirit, and consequently
105 TheWay,4     |       the means of receiving the Holy Spirit: purity of heart,
106 TheWay,4     |     fasting and charity, reading Holy Scripture, meditation, and
107 TheWay,4     |     meditation, and partaking of Holy Communion. Of course, each
108 TheWay,4     |      effective for receiving the Holy Spirit, but it is best to
109 TheWay,4     |      distance ourselves from the Holy Spirit, we should not despair
110 TheWay,4     |     prayer, and the All-merciful Holy Spirit will again return
