Many will misunderstand the action of the Holy Spirit solely within the context of charismatic gifts, therefore, if a person is being healed, then we can assume the Holy Spirit is alive in that action. That may be true, but the work of the Holy Spirit is more comprehensive than just this.
Anytime you seek holiness, the Holy Spirit is alive in your life, that means by attending mass, definitely seeking out the Sacrament of Confession, engaging in prayer and bible study, know that these are signs of the Holy Spirit in your life. This is particularly true if you do so in humility.
When you seek to turn from sin, that is the Holy Spirit in your life.
You can also see the Holy Spirit in your life when you are open to His teaching through the Church.
All of these are signs and they are just small signs of the Holy Spirit alive in our lives. Let us know his holiness by being open to the Holy Spirit, especially as Pentecost Approaches.
God Bless You,
Fr. Robert J Carr
