Basing his reflection on the Hebrew word for “Spirit”, Pope Francis explains that the Third Person of the Trinity is able to make us truly free. Pope Francis began his catechesis on June 5, Wednesday with a reflection on the Name of the Holy Spirit, which is revealed in the Old Testament asThis word, he said, contains “the first fundamental revelation about the Person and function of the Holy Spirit.
Recalling the “roar of rushing wind” that accompanied the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the Pope explained that the nameexpresses the “power” of the Holy Spirit, which like the wind is “an overwhelming and indomitable force… capable even of moving oceans.
Like the wind, that cannot “be bridled, ‘bottled up,’ or put in a box, the Holy Spirit cannot be reduced to “concepts, definitions, theses, or treatises,” nor enclosed within “canons, institutions, or definitions.” The Spirit “creates and animates institutions, but cannot be ‘institutionalized’,” the Pope said.
Following St Paul, who exhorts Christians not to allow their freedom to become a pretext for the flesh, Pope Francis denounced the false freedom “that allows the rich to exploit the poor, the strong to exploit the weak, and everyone to exploit the environment with impunity.” Pope Francis concluded his address by pointing out that the true freedom of the Spirit must come from Jesus, and inviting everyone to pray that, Jesus might make us “through His Holy Spirit, truly free men and women.”
