The Fiery Spirit

The Fiery Spirit is a free eBook by Fr Tadros Malaty for young people, on how the Holy Spirit renews our nature and gives us power to overcome sin.

Our Lord Jesus Christ came to earth not to give us mere commandments, but to renew our nature by His Holy Spirit and to set up His kingdom within us. He came to turn our inner selves, empty of beauty, into a unique and glorious spiritual world. He crucified our old man, made in the image of the earthly Adam, and gave us a new man, in the image of the new, heavenly Adam. That is why Jesus told His Apostles not to leave Jerusalem until they received power from on high (Acts 1:8).

So, as Fr Tadros tells his young readers, do not fear the lusts of the flesh, sin and all its temptations, or the whole world with all its burdens. You have received the Holy Spirit in the sacraments of Baptism and Chrismation (Myron), and He works in you with all power. If you accept His work in you and ask His help at any time, trust that He will support you.
