The uniqueness of the Holy Spirit

I remember a few years back, when one of the Idente brothers came to me and said "What is your relationship like with Jesus?", then he paused and said "Before you answer, please remember that a lot of times we talk about 'God' and forget that he is three distinct divine persons.  In this way, our relationship with the Father although can not separate from our relationship with Christ, or with the Holy Spirit, is very unique."

After that conversation, as my days went by I began to discern in my relationship with God which voice  of which divine person of the Trinity was the one speaking with me in my life of prayer.

Specifically with the Holy Spirit, I could begin to understand the voice of a good friend that encourages and inspires, and for me specifically very much encourages my creativity.... And I started to realize especially that most of our images of the Holy Spirit as a 'bird' or 'dove' can be very deceiving for our spiritual lives as He is a Person - not an animal.

Above is an image based upon some words from St. Augustine, that I invite you to pray with me.  I cannot tell you how, or determine how your relationship with the Holy Spirit should be(although there are some sources; books; the catechism; and of course the Bible itself that can help with that), but all I can say is to be open to Him, and begin to discern which dialogue with the Divine Persons is most prominent from day to day and week to week in your life of prayer.
