(VIDEO ONLY) The theme of the weekly catechesis was the "Holy Spirit and Christian prayer". The Pope explained that the third person of the Trinity is both "object and subject of prayer".

SUMMARY OF THE POPE'S CATECHESIS IN SPANISH:

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

In our continuing catechesis on the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church, we now consider the role of the Spirit in prayer. In the Gospels, Jesus teaches us to pray for the gift of the Spirit, who dwells in our hearts and testifies that, in union with the risen Lord, we are truly sons and daughters of our heavenly Father.

Guided by the Spirit, we truly pray as we ought, both personally and in the Church’s celebration of the Liturgy. As the “Paraclete”, our Advocate and Comforter, the Holy Spirit not only intercedes for us, but also enables us, in the unity of Christ’s mystical Body, to do the same for the needs of our brothers and sisters. As we look forward to the coming Holy Year, let us ask the Spirit to bestow upon us, and upon the whole human family, his gifts of holiness, unity, justice and peace.

I welcome all the English-speaking pilgrims, especially the groups from England, Ghana, Malaysia, the Philippines and the United States of America. I also greet the priests coming from England and Wales, who are celebrating significant anniversaries of priestly Ordination. Upon all of you and upon your families I invoke the joy and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you!
