The Apostle Mar Mani uses the term “Paraclete” in various manners as shown below.

1. Holy Spirit
2. Spirit of holiness
3. Guidance
4. Guide
5. Comfort
6. Comforter
7. Teacher

“Let us worship the spirit of the Comforter.

Let us bless Maran Eshoo who has sent us the Spirit of Truth.

He (Maran Eshoo) came and separated us from the Error of the World.

He brought us a mirror. We looked into it, and saw in it the Universe.”
