1. The Forgotten Person
We often think of the Father and the Son, but the Holy Spirit is sometimes the "forgotten God." He is not an "it" or an "energy." He is a Person, the Third Person of the Trinity, equal to the Father and the Son.
Pray to the Holy Spirit as a Person, in His own words
If the Spirit has been an abstraction to you, the fix is the Gospel of John, where Jesus calls Him the Paraclete and speaks of Him as He, not it. Catholic/Christian Pro carries in-depth Bible studies on John 14 to 16, audio devotionals on the Spirit in the life of Christ, guided prayers to the Holy Spirit including the Veni Sancte Spiritus, worship playlists and offline access. $49 one-time, lifetime access, no subscription.

If the Church is the Body of Christ, the Holy Spirit is the Soul. He is what keeps the Church alive, prevents it from teaching error (infallibility), and animates the sacraments. Without Him, the Church is just an NGO.
See the Spirit at work in the Church, chapter by chapter
Calling the Spirit the soul of the Church is a claim you can check against Acts and 1 Corinthians. Pro gives you in-depth Bible studies on Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 12, audio devotionals on the sacraments and the Spirit who acts in them, guided prayers, worship playlists and full offline access. Buy it once for $49 and keep it for life. No subscription, no recurring charge, 30-day money-back guarantee.
Get Pro for $49 $49 once. Lifetime access. 30-day money-back guarantee.3. Gifts and Fruits
The Spirit gives us 7 Gifts (Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, Fear of the Lord) to help us become holy. The proof of His presence is the "Fruit" of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Work through the gifts and the fruits, one week at a time
Seven gifts from Isaiah 11 and nine fruits from Galatians 5 are a year of prayer if you take them seriously, and most people never take the second week. Pro gives you a guided prayer for each gift, in-depth Bible studies on Galatians 5 and Romans 8, audio devotionals on life in the Spirit, worship playlists and offline access to all of it. $49 one-time payment, lifetime access, no subscription and no recurring charges. Mass, confession and every sacrament are free at your parish. This buys study material and audio, nothing else. Start tonight.
