On the Holy Spirit

"What the soul is to the body of man so is the Holy Spirit to the Body of Christ, which is the Church."
- St Augustine of Hippo

"Come Holy Ghost who ever one reignest with the Father and the Son, in this good hour our souls possess with Thy full flood of holiness."
- St Ambrose of Milan

"The Holy Spirit is likened to fire...Like the wind, fire is elusive: alive, free, ever-moving, not to be measured, weighed, or constricted within narrow limits. We feel the heat of the flames, but we cannot enclose and retain them in our hands."
- Kallistos Ware

"The Logos took flesh that we might receive the Spirit."
-Vladimir Lossky

"The Spirit supplies all things;
He causes prophecies to spring up,
He sanctifies priests,
To the unlettered he teaches wisdom,
The fishermen he turned into theologians.
He holds together in unity the whole Church.
One in essence and one in throne with the Father and the Son,
O Paraclete, glory to Thee!"
- Vespers on the Feast of Pentecost
