A Virtuous Life and the Breath of God, A Human-Divine Connection

By Fernando Davalos

The author maintains that a virtuous life can lead humans to establish a divine connection with the loving breath of our Father in heaven through our hearts.

Without the Holy Spirit, - the breath of God- the invaluable gift that Jesus sent us once He returned to His Father in heaven, we are helpless, unprotected and without a map to guide us to the path of return to Paradise.

A virtuous life requires faith and the building of sanctifying grace in our lives.

Fortunately, Mary, the mother of Jesus, the apostles, the first fathers of the church, and the catholic saints have walked through this path leaving us various insights as indications on how to follow them.

With the help of many researchers on the subject, the author follows some of these holy individuals and their paths of sanctification that led them to be filled by the holy spirit, becoming as a result, active labourers of Christ who have spread the light of the Holy Spirit in this dark world.

I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore, I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

John 16:12-15, RSV2CE.
