A special, abiding presence of the Holy Ghost in the soul of the just, based upon the inexistence of sanctifying grace. When this grace is produced in the soul, the three Persons of the Blessed Trinity come to dwell therein in a special manner (John 14). By appropriation, however, this special indwelling is attributed to the Holy Ghost.
