Spirit and Paul Day 84
According to Saint Paul, the Holy Spirit prays for Christians and helps them in their weaknesses to pray. Paul writes to the Roman church, "We do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words."1 Utterance is made to God not to men by the Holy Spirit. Paul explains, "For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit."2
True unity in Christ is created by the Holy Spirit. Again Paul explains, "For by one spirit we were all baptized into one body - Jews or Greeks, slaves or free - and all were made to drink of one Spirit."3 The people of God are united too in their holy lives. Clement, writing in the first century, described this symbol of holiness as the holy people. People reflect and share the divine glory and the holiness of God. The awesome holiness of God is close to us particularly in the holiest, that is in the lives of the saints.
