Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Today, my friends, we address the Holy Spirit most directly in our hymns and spiritual songs:
Σῶσον ἡμᾶς, Παράκλητε ἀγαθέ, ψάλλοντάς σοι· Ἀλληλούϊα.
Save us, O Good Paraclete, who chant to You, Alleluia!
When we call the Holy Spirit, “Paraclete,” we call the Spirit by the same name that our Lord Jesus Christ used, when He told His disciples that we would ask His Father to send “another Παράκλητος” to be with them forever.[1]
