Summary/Abstract: Vatican Council II is one of the most special moments of pneumatological experience in the twentieth century. This article is showing some of the pneumatological aspects especially those contained in the Dogmatic Constitution Dei Verbum, one of the most common documents of Vatican Council II. Revelation is God's great gift to man but at the same time also an invitation. A man in his freedom is invited to respond to the voice, but with-out the help of God’s intervention, he is not able to do that. Hence, by God's initiative, we find different ways by which God gives us the means to enter into this "dialogue of salvation".This article present the route to God’s dialogue and how the Holy Spirit in our time passes on the gift of redemption. Primarily has been made the analysis of Dei Verbum pneumatological aspects to understand better the Holy Spirit’s place in the transmission of the revelation of God in the Church. To emphasize this update the topic is worth quoting the words of Paul VI, whose beatification we expect . He emphasized that one of the most important messages of Vatican II was to recognize that the Church lives by the grace, presence and the action of the Holy Spirit,the Spirit of Christ, received by the growing Church on the day of Pentecost.The last Council focused around ecclesiological pneumatology. This article underlines pneumatological and fundamental truths concerning God's revelation and His message .This work will aim to see how the Fathers of the Vatican Council spoke of the Holy Spirit in his role in passing on the gift of salvation.
