Your Second Assignment:
- Think about the Holy Spirit. Many people have a vision in their heads of what God the Father and Jesus look like, but not too many people see the Holy Spirit in human form. What is your idea of who the Holy Spirit is, and how the Holy Spirit works as one of the Persons of the Trinity?
- Watch these two videos about the Holy Spirit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUFdHxBXM44&ab_channel=CatholicCentral
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1INut0Gi09Q&ab_channel=BishopRobertBarron
- Write a paragraph or two to discuss what was said in the videos that helped you to better understand the Holy Spirit, or that made you think more deeply about the role of the Holy Spirit. Why is the Holy Spirit so important in the sacrament of Confirmation?
- Send your writing to me (barb.m@jp2parish.org) in an email or share in a Google Doc before our next class in May, and you will be counted as present for Class Session #2.
