Summary/Abstract: The present article tries to analyse the connection between the Holy Spirit, the Comforter and the Inspirer of the Church, and the Virgin Mary, the Full of grace, the Mother of Christ. The Bible itself contains some similarities and theological convergences between the third Person of the Holy Trinity and the Theotokos. These similarities allow us to establish an intimate bond between the prayer of the Virgin in the Church and the presence of the Spirit in it.
