This essay deals with the person of the Holy Spirit. Tracing and interpreting the pneumatology of the French theologian François-Xavier Durrwell (1912-2005), this article shows that the author interprets the Spirit as the breath of the Father and the Son, rather than the one spirated by the Father and the Son. In him, the Father begets the Son. The Spirit is not an effect of divine activity; he is the divine activity. Understanding the Spirit as an act, which is based on biblical texts, implies an answer concerning the question of his origin. If the Spirit is the incessant movement, then proceeds from the Father he also proceeds from the Son. In an effort at terminological precision the author formulates the thesis that God the Father gives the Spirit (as his only Originator) and God’s Son shares this Spirit. In the immanent Trinity the Son shares the Spirit with the Father, in the economy he also shares him with human beings who believe in the Son.

For centuries the issue of Filioque, that is, whether the Holy Spirit proceeds not only from the Father, but also from the Son, has been debated. It gives rise to a further question, namely, whether the Spirit of God can also proceed from a human being. Some biblical texts, as well as statements of mystics, suggest a positive answer, yet assuming it may seem presumptuous. The author of this paper searches for an answer to this question. First she presents the main arguments used by Filioque advocates to defend their faith and then she reflects on their testimonial value with respect to the first and second questions. Subsequently she pays attention to two relevant texts from the Gospel of John. Based on theological arguments implied by the analogy of faith and the analogy of being and also based on what Scripture says the author reaches the conclusion that spiration of the Spirit of God by human beings is grounded and that the human vocation is realized in it. From orthodoxy she draws implications for orthopraxis.
