When you think of the Holy Spirit, what comes to your mind?  Perhaps more importantly, what happens in your life?  In other words, is what you know about the Holy Spirit just information – or does it lead to transformation?  Today’s Epistle reading speaks of the transformation that the Holy Spirit works in our lives.  It begins with our baptism and continues throughout our lives as we allow the Word of God to work in us to conform us more and more into the image of Christ.  As we consider the fruit that the Holy Spirit yields in our lives, we realize how He has blessed His Body, the Church, through each of us.  What an amazing thing God has done!
