Duch Święty, który od Ojca i Syna pochodzi, obecny w tajemnicy Wcielenia i Odkupienia

Abstract

The article presents the Holy Spirit in the history of salvation. His activity has roots in the unity of the Divine Person's life. The first problem relates to the concordance of the history of revelation with that of salvation. Secondly, the harmony of salutary economy is analysed, considering that the Divine perfection affects the existence of the creation. Therefore, the sanctity of God requires an adequate co-operation of man with the incarnated Son of God. Finally, the baptism in the Holy Spirit is discussed. Christians are to be witnesses of the gift that descends from the Son and from the Holy Spirit, who together conduct the deeds of salvation. The Son's resurrection initiated a new stage of the Jesus' presence in the Spirit. The cross was not set aside. It stands firm in the Paschal mystery and receives new quality. Christians can rediscover Him in the Eucharist and in the daily life. The Spirit of Christ enables them to accept any form of sacrifice that has a dimension of the cross and of love.
