One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. teaches children about the Holy Trinity in easily understandable language.

The Catholic Church teaches that the Holy Spirit is one of the three Persons of the Holy Trinity, along with God the Father and Jesus the Son. The Holy Spirit is God, just like the Father and the Son, and helps us to know and love God better. In the Bible, Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to His followers after He returned to Heaven. The Holy Spirit came to the disciples on Pentecost, giving them courage and strength to share Jesus' message with the world.

For Catholics, the Holy Spirit is always with us. We receive the Holy Spirit in a special way during Baptism and Confirmation. The Holy Spirit helps guide us to do what is right, giving us gifts like wisdom, understanding, and courage to follow God. He also helps us to pray and be close to God in our hearts. One of the roles of the Holy Spirit is to empower believers to witness to God's love and to share the love of Jesus with everyone. The Holy Spirit is also referred to in the Bible as our Advocate and the Paraclete who comes along side of us to empower us for witness.

The Holy Spirit also helps the Church by guiding its leaders, like the Pope and bishops, and helping all of us live as God's children. The Holy Spirit fills us with God's love and helps us share that love with others by being kind, forgiving, and helpful. In short, the Holy Spirit is God's presence with us, helping us grow in faith and love every day.
