Pentecost and The Holy Spirit

Today being Pentecost Sunday, the priest offering our Mass asked us what symbol/image did we associate with the Holy Spirit. There are the obvious, e.g., "a dove" or "tongues of fire". Ironically, about a month ago my brother and I were discussing the very same thing. I told my brother I envisioned The Holy Spirit as something invisible yet knowing to exist. To me this is best illustrated as I see The Holy Spirit as the air circulation flowing from God, e.g., the Breath of God in Creation, the Breath of Jesus on the Apostles when He instituted the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the Breath of Jesus when He gave them His great commission--i.e., the very sustenance of life. I envision The Holy Spirit being a peaceful and soothing as a gentle breeze--something hardly noticeable but there, and when need be as strong as tornado or hurricane force winds. Is it not possible that the tower or cloud that led and protected the Israelites fleeing the Egyptians and the separation of the sea which created their final of the means of escape could they not have been brought upon by The Holy Spirit--The Love of The Father and The Son (The Word)?

Anyway, I find my image of The Holy Spirit though lacking as any human image would be, very comforting--one of the many titles describing The Holy Spirit--"The Comforter".

I pray and hope that as this Easter Season is drawn to a close, it was as Blessed for you as it was for me and that you radiate The Love of The Father and Son, i.e., The Holy Spirit to all you encounter through the rest of your life.
