> "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever – the Spirit of truth" ([John 14:16–17, NIV](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14%3A16-17&version=NIV)) From Jesus' words the Spirit of Truth is the Holy Spirit, but if we consider the succeeding verses below, it seems like it's describing the role of the Holy Spirit as a Teacher of Faith and someone who will testify in full about who Jesus is. > But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you. ([John 14:26](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14%3A26&version=NIV)) > When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father — the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father — He will testify about Me. ([John 15:26](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A26&version=NIV)) My question is: according to Catholic teaching, is the Spirit of Truth a person in whom the Holy Spirit chose to dwell, to testify to and become the teacher and guide of the Apostles?
