The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost, in Christian belief, is the third person of the Holy Trinity, the idea of one God in three divine persons, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. In the New Testament of The Bible, Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as "the Counselor . . . whom the Father will send in my name" (John 14:26).
The theology of the Holy Spirit came about slowly in response to disputes concerning the relationship of Jesus to God the Father. In 325 CE the Council of Nicaea condemned the heresy of Arianism which taught that Jesus Christ was a creature, neither equal to, nor coeternal with God, the Father, Creator.
In 381 CE the Council of Constantinople condemned the view that the Son created the Holy Spirit. The Council stated "I believe in the Holy Spirity, the Lord and the giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father. Together with the Father and the Son, he is adored and glorified." One other pronouncement delivered one other change, the 9th Century addition of filioque to the creed of Constantinople. That addition stated that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son became a source of discord between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches from that point forward.
The Church considers the Holy Spirit to be the Sanctifier who leads and guides the Church and its members.

How do the Holy Sacraments connect?
Baptism: Baptism allows the reception of the other Sacraments because it makes us a member of the Church, the Body of Christ. It is connected to Confession and Extreme Unction (Anointing of the Sick) because it remits Sin, whether Venial or Mortal. Although, it is the only Sacrament that can remit Original Sin. Baptism is related to Confirmation because it imparts the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. The Eucharist: The Eucharist is, in a way, to the Sacrament of Confession because it remits VENIAL SIN ONLY. The Eucharist is related to Extreme Unction because it is given as Viaticum (Latin word meaning "provisions for a journey"). Confirmation: Confirmation is related to Baptism and Holy Orders because it imparts an indelible mark on the soul. Confirmation is also related to Baptism because it gives the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost; therefore finishing the indwelling of the Holy Ghost started at Baptism. The rest of the Sacraments aren't related in any way that I haven't previously mentioned.
