In today’s episode, Sr. Orianne Pietra René and Sr. Julie Benedicta break open chapters 7 & 8 of the book The Sanctifier, which is about how the Holy Spirit consecrates us, our own ability of practicing being in his presence, and how we love and glorify God.

Catechesis on the Holy Spirit (Weekly Audiences of John Paul II from April 26, 1989 to July 3, 1991) The talk quoted by Sr Benedicta is here.

•  “We read: "But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the Spirit, if only the Spirit dwells in you" (Rom 8:9). "If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you" (Rom 8:11). Therefore, the influence of the divine indwelling in a person is extended to his or her whole being. It extends to his or her whole life, which in all its constitutive elements and operational activities is placed under the action of the Holy Spirit: of the Spirit of the Father and the Son, and therefore also of Christ, the Incarnate Word. This Spirit, alive in the Trinity, by virtue of the redemption won by Christ is present in the entire person who lets himself or herself be "inhabited" by him, and in all of humanity which recognizes and accepts him.”
