The representation of the Holy Spirit as a dove comes from the New Testament. More specifically, from the passage of Jesus’ baptism. “When Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Mt 3:16-17). One of the missions of the Holy Spirit is to show that Jesus is the rock that sustains us. Soon after Christ’s ascension to heaven, he was sent upon Mary and the disciples, 50 days after Jesus’ resurrection. The Holy Spirit filled the apostles with his gifts and strength, which impelled them to bear witness to the Risen Christ in the world. The first Christian community was formed there, with the birth of the Church. It was born in the Spirit, and is moved, sustained and guided by Him.
The Holy Spirit lives in the hearts of those who believe in Jesus Christ. He works in Christians to give them courage to bear witness to the Living and Resurrected Christ and to proclaim the Word of God. If you need faith, just ask, and the Holy Spirit will help you.
