Celem tego artykułu było zbadanie, jak św. Aniela była posłuszna Duchowi Świętemu w swoim życiu? Analizy świadectw jej życia oraz jej pism pokazały, że była prowadzona przez Ducha Świętego od wczesnego dzieciństwa i młodości. Podczas trudnych doświadczeń, jak śmierć rodziców i siostry, była otwarta na miłość do Boga i chciała należeć do Niego. Bóg prowadził ją i uczynił wrażliwą na Jego obecność w niej samej, w innych ludziach, w wydarzeniach. Aniela kochała słowo Boże, była kobietą modlitwy i ascezy. Była otwarta na dary i charyzmaty Ducha Świętego, szczególnie została obdarowana mądrością, proroctwem i oblubieńczą więzią z Chrystusem. Wszystkie te dary były jej dane dla dobra Kościoła, w sposób szczególny dla urszulańskiej wspólny gromadzącej się wokół niej. Święta Aniela stała się proroczym znakiem dla całego Kościoła.
The puropse of this article was to investigate how Saint Angela was obedient to the Holy Spirit in her life? An analysis of the witnesses in her life and of her writings showed that the Holy Spirit was leading Saint Angela Merici from her early childhood and youth. During difficult experiences, like the death of her parents and sister, she was open to the love of God and wanted to belong to Him. God lead her and she became sensitive to the presence of Him in herself, in other people and in everyday events. She loved the word of God, was deeply involved in prayer and lived an ascetic life. She was open to the gifts and charisms of the Holy Spirit and she was especially gifted with wisdom, the gift of prophecy and holy virginity. All of these gifts were given to her for the good of the Church and especially for the Ursuline community that gathered around her. She became a prophetic sign for the whole Church. She was a Bride of the Son of God and she showed that the Church is also a Bride of Jesus Christ.
