Before Breath

The Eternal Origin of the Person of the Holy Spirit

About This Life Night

This Life Night begins with a relay race that incorporates different symbols of the Holy Spirit. The Proclaim expounds on the symbols of the Holy Spirit, but challenges the teens to not limit the Holy Spirit to a specific image, but to see Him as a person. During the Break, the teens consider the symbols of the Holy Spirit and discuss ways to develop a
relationship with the person of the Holy Spirit. The Send gives a confirmed teen the opportunity to share his or her experience of living out the grace of the Sacrament of Confirmation and also introduces the teens to the ancient hymn, Come, O Creator Spirit Blest.

Goal of This Night

The goal of this Life Night is to understand the Holy Spirit as a person of the Trinity, Who has been active since the beginning, and to foster a desire to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Catechism

Scripture

Key Concepts

– There are different symbols of the Holy Spirit. Some of the most familiar are water, fire, a dove, and rushing wind. Each of these symbols teach us about Who the Holy Spirit is and what He does in our lives.

– The Holy Spirit is more than a symbol; He is a person of the Trinity Who has been active since the beginning. Present before and through the very act of creation, the Holy Spirit was active even before the Creator breathed life into Adam’s nostrils.

– The Holy Spirit is vital to the Christian life. He is the very Breath and Spirit of God breathed into us, giving us life.

Key Terms
