“The Holy Spirit is ‘the principle of every vital and truly saving action in each part of the Body.’ He works in many ways to build up the whole Body in charity: by God's Word which is able to build you up; by Baptism, through which he forms Christ's Body; by the sacraments, which give growth and healing to Christ's members; by ‘the grace of the apostles, which holds first place among his gifts; by the virtues, which make us act according to what is good; finally, by the many special graces (called charisms), by which he makes the faithful ‘fit and ready to undertake various tasks and offices for the renewal and building up of the Church.’ ” (CCC, 1997, Paragraph 798)

“What the soul is to the human body, the Holy Spirit is to the Body of Christ, which is the Church. ‘To this Spirit of Christ, as an invisible principle, is to be ascribed the fact that all the parts of the body are joined one with the other and with their exalted head; for the whole Spirit of Christ is in the head, the whole Spirit is in the body, and the whole Spirit is in each of the members.’ The Holy Spirit makes the Church the temple of the living God:

Indeed, it is to the Church herself that the ‘Gift of God’ has been entrusted.... In it is in her that communion with Christ has been deposited, that is to say: the Holy Spirit, the pledge of incorruptibility, the strengthening of our faith and the ladder of our ascent to God.... For where the Church is, there also is God's Spirit; where God's Spirit is, there is the Church and every grace.” (CCC, 1997, Paragraph 797)
