The Spirit: Giver of Life and Love
Here are the catecheses on the Holy Spirit which Blessed Pope John Paul II gave us at the Wednesday General Audiences between April 1989 & July 1991. They were the third part of JPII's Catechesis on the Creed, following on from those on Jesus Christ and preceding those on the Church.
There were 82 catechesis in this cycle:
Links included for the texts in Italian & Spanish (& a few Portuguese & French) on the Vatican website.
(The English text is from the Vatican website easy-to-miss, special section ... which Totus2us came by via the website Catechesis of the Popes. The titles aren't from the original Italian, but were included in book form, published by Pauline Books & Media, now out of print.)
