THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
We have been reflecting upon the gifts of the Holy Spirit for the past 7 weeks. Now we
will try to understand the fruits of the Holy Spirit in the coming weeks. The Fruit of the Holy
Spirit is a biblical term that sums up nine attributes of a person or community living in accord with
the Holy Spirit. According to St. Paul, as he speaks in the Epistle of Galatians, Chapter 5, the fruits
of the Spirit are, ‘love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-
control’. (Gal 5, 22-23) The fruit is contrasted with the works of the flesh. The Holy Spirit gives
its gifts to those who receive Him and when the Holy Spirit dwells in a person, that person will
receive the gifts and bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit. St. Paul used the term ‘fruit’ to help us
understand the product of the Holy Spirit, who
lives inside every believer. The fruit of the
Spirit is produced by the Spirit, not by the
Christian. Like physical fruit needs time to
grow, the fruit of the Spirit will not ripen in
our lives overnight. As a successful gardener
must battle against weeds to enjoy the sweet
fruit they desire, we must constantly work to
rid our lives of the ‘weeds’ of our old sinful
natures that want to choke out the work of the
Spirit.
As we learn about each fruit, let us pray
and be people who are led by the Holy Spirit,
because the manifestations of the Holy Spirit
are known as the fruit of the Spirit. If someone
is a true Christian, he has received the Holy
Spirit and, for that reason, the fruit of the Spirit
should be seen in his life. It would be difficult
to recognise someone as a Christian if these
manifestations were not found in his life, since
these are the foundational characteristics of a
life directed by the Spirit.

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS Divine Jesus, Son of the eternal Father and Mary Immaculate, grant many of the faithful true generosity in
following your call, and bestow on them the grace of your Holy Spirit to persevere in overcoming all obstacles to
their vocations. Give the church in this Diocese and throughout the world many holy priests and fervent religious.
Through the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, all the Angels, Blessed Justin and all Saints, we humbly
ask you to hear our prayers and multiply the ministries by which we may serve one another in faith and love. Hail
Mary…..
