the holy spirit as a part of us if he is to do the work he came to do. i know that on a personal level i need to be more aware of the role he plays in my salvation. if i am more open to him he can be more effective at keeping me at home in god's love. and as my teacher i certainly need to be aware of him and what he is teaching me.
if i understand this correctly - the holy spirit is god's presence in the world and therefore it is through him that god comes close to us, it is him whom we meet
