Fruits and Gifts of the

Holy Spirit
Prepared by: Nelme E. Largo, LPT, MAT
Our Lord Jesus Christ prepared for the foundation of the
Church. It started the moment Jesus chose the twelve
and commissioned them to continue His mission.
However, the Church came to life only when the Holy
Spirit was sent by Jesus to the apostles on the first
Pentecost Sunday in the form of tongues of fire. This
Pentecost event marked the birth of the Church that
Jesus founded.
In the Sacrament of Confirmation, we received the gift
of the Holy Spirit that help make us understand and
spread Jesus’ message of love.
With these gifts, we will be able to develop the fruits of
the Spirit in us radiating positivity to others.

 When we cooperate with the Holy
Spirit and use His gifts for us, then in our
life we show the Holy Spirit dwelling in
us. We become signs of God’s holiness to
other people. The Spirit’s presence in
our lives are called the fruits of the Holy
Spirit. The fruits of the Holy Spirit are
qualities that help us become the
persons God wants us to be.
