Abstract
The purpose of this essay is to reflect on the link Holy Spirit and care in the Church. The Bible presents this trajectory in the organization and liberation of a people: firstly, through the rules and the prophets; secondly through the Messiah and, finally, the Church's mission. Spirit and care converge in the metaphors of election, of the Messiah, maternity and inspiration. These metaphors unite the two Testaments and deal with the reciprocity between God and his people. The work of God is revealed and communicated through the care of the Holy Spirit. The Church, following the Biblical guidelines, and in the light of the Spirit, seeks to discern the signs of salvation. In the First Testament we can perceive its signs in the formulation and enforcement of laws, in the words of Solomon and the Psalms and also in the preaching of the prophets. In the Second Testament, it is witnessed in the Gospels and, particularly, in the person of Jesus Christ, through his life. The work of God is revealed and communicated through the care of the Holy Spirit. The Church, following the Biblical guidelines, and in the light of the Spirit, seek to discern the signs of salvation. In this way, the purpose of this reflection is to present the trajectory of the Holy Spirit manifested in care.
