“By grace, then, we receive really and truly God the Holy Ghost and are made partakers of His divinity. If, then, we genuflect to the tabernacle in which the Blessed Sacrament is reserved and treat our Communions as the most solemn moments of our day, then equally we must hold in reverence every simple soul in a state of grace, the souls of others and our own.”

In The Abiding Presence of the Holy Ghost in the Soul, Dominican theologian Fr. Bede Jarrett unfolds one of the most consoling and overlooked truths of the Christian life: the Holy Ghost is not merely a distant Giver of gifts—He is the living Guest of the soul in a state of grace. His presence is constant, active, and transformative, quietly shaping Christians from within and drawing them into an intimate friendship with God.

With clarity and warmth, the Very Reverend Jarrett explains what it truly means to become a temple of the Holy Spirit, showing how God sanctifies the soul from the inside out, and why His indwelling brings courage, peace, and stability.

Perfect for anyone seeking a deeper prayer life, greater serenity, or a more profound awareness of God’s closeness to the human heart.
