    Abstract

    The author of this article studied the second readings from the Office of Readings – mostly from the Fathers of the Church – of the Ordinary Time in terms of their pneumatological content, systematized them, and created an interesting outline of pneumatology that can escape the attention of clergymen who read these texts every day. He distinguished between dogmatic and ascetic statements. The first concerns classic pneumatological themes, such as: the deity of the Holy Spirit, action in Christ and with Christ, action in the Church and in an individual person, through the sacraments, especially through the sacrament of baptism. In ascetic statements, the author showed the action of the Holy Spirit as the Creator of the gift of faith and love, the Giver of seven gifts, the Architect of man’s spiritual attitudes, and the Inspirer of prayer. It is probably not a complete textbook of pneumatology, but its classic elements are visible.
