1 The Name of the Holy Spirit
Jesus himself calls the Holy Spirit the Paraclete. And He and God the Father know best who the Holy Spirit is. So, what does this mysterious name Paraclete mean?
2 Key Words
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always.”
The original Greek word “paraklēton” that Jesus uses is difficult to translate with just one word. It has such a deep meaning that it is translated variously: as an advocate, comforter, helper, defender, protector.
The Latin Church Fathers most often translated the name Paraclete as Advocatus. The Spirit of Jesus is our “advocate.” Many times, in this world we are faced with attempts to prove that following Christ is an error. We are misunderstood or ridiculed. Then we need the Spirit who defends the Truth of the Gospel, that is, the peace and certainty within us that Jesus lives.
St. Paul writes that everything good in our lives, such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, is the fruit of the Spirit (cf. Galatians 5:22-23). He encourages believers to let the Holy Spirit guide them.
The Paraclete is the one who cares for us and who encourages us (gr. parakaleo) not to stop on the path of faith, not to lose the peace of heart, that is, the certainty that the Risen One is with us. He is a comforter in the sense that he gives us courage and reassurance in moments of doubt and difficulty.
The Advocate knows us and is our Defender; the Paraclete encourages us and sustains us in the faith, he is our comforter and protector. The Spirit that Jesus gives us is just like that.
3 Today
The Holy Spirit gives us freedom and does not intrude. He comes when we call upon Him. There are so many situations in life when we need the light and help of the Holy Spirit. Hence, many people pray a hymn, or at least one stanza, every day:
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator, come
from thy bright heav’nly throne;
come, take possession of our souls,
and make them all thine own.

1. el nombre del Espíritu Santo
Jesús mismo llama al Espíritu Santo el Paráclito. Él y Dios Padre saben mejor quién es el Espíritu Santo. Entonces, ¿qué significa este misterioso nombre de Paráclito?
2 Palabras clave
“(…) yo le rogaré al Padre y él les dará otro Paráclito para que esté siempre con ustedes (…)”.
La palabra griega original “paraklēton” que utiliza Jesús es difícil de traducir con una sola palabra. Tiene un significado tan profundo que a veces se traduce de varias maneras: como abogado, consolador, ayudante, defensor, protector.
Los Padres de la Iglesia latina tradujeron con mayor frecuencia el nombre Paráclito como Advocatus. El Espíritu de Jesús es nuestro “abogado”. Encontramos muchas veces en este mundo intentos de demostrar que seguir a Cristo es un error. Somos incomprendidos o ridiculizados. Entonces necesitamos el Espíritu que defiende la Verdad del Evangelio, es decir, la paz y la certeza en nuestro interior de que Jesús vive.
San Pablo escribe que lo que es bueno en nuestra vida, como el amor, la alegría, la paz, la paciencia, la amabilidad, la bondad, la fidelidad, la mansedumbre y el autocontrol, es fruto del Espíritu (cf. Gálatas 5:22-23). Anima a los creyentes a dejarse guiar por el Espíritu Santo.
El Paráclito es el que cuida de nosotros y nos anima (gr. parakaleo) a no detenernos en el camino de la fe, a no perder la paz del corazón, es decir, la certeza de que el Resucitado está con nosotros. Es un consolador en el sentido de que nos da ánimo y aliento en momentos de dudas y dificultad.
El Abogado nos conoce y es nuestro Defensor, el Paráclito nos anima y sostiene en la fe, es nuestro consolador y protector. Este es el Espíritu Santo que Jesús nos da.
3 Hoy
El Espíritu Santo nos da libertad y no se impone. Él viene cuando lo invocamos. Hay tantas situaciones en la vida en las que necesitamos la luz y la ayuda del Espíritu Santo. De ahí que muchas personas recen un himno, o al menos una estrofa, cada día:
Ven, Espíritu Creador,
visita las almas de tus fieles
llena con tu divina gracia,
los corazones que creaste.
