     How can we come to know God? The first way is through our mind/intellect. We can reason to the existence of God by observing the beauty of the world as well as the harmony and order that we find in the world. But human reason is not enough. For us to know God, we believe that God must reveal himself to us. The means by which God reveals himself is the person of the Holy Spirit. Because of the gift of the Holy Spirit bestowed upon the person  at baptism, we can know Jesus to be the Son of God, our Savior. Because this Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, we know that God is our Father.

     Paul speaks about the knowledge imparted by the Spirit to the Corinthians: “So no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.” (1Cor 2:11-12)

     The Holy Spirit plays an important role in the faith life of every believer. It is through the Holy Spirit that the grace of Christ takes root in us in the first place. This knowledge does not do away with human reason, but rather completes and raises up reason not only to consider things that come to us through our senses, but now through the Holy Spirit we can experience the mysteries of God: His wisdom, goodness and mercy. Paul realizes that his true teacher on Christ is the Holy Spirit. May we do the same and pray that the Holy Spirit may enlighten us today.
