Come, Holy Spirit. We and our world have such need of you. "
Come Spirit of Goodness, and convert us to the project of the kingdom of God begun by Jesus. Without your power to renew, no one will change our tired hearts; we will not have the courage to build a more humane world ..." The quote is again from Jose Pagola's "
Following in the Footsteps of Jesus" and I think that we need the Holy Spirit to come each day into our hearts and lives to teach us to love as Jesus loves. We need to love "
with the love Jesus loved" to continue to quote from Pagola. He says that without the living presence of the Holy Spirit among us, "
the communion of the church will collapse, the hierarchy and the people will go on distancing themselves from one another; divisions will increase, dialogue will die out and intolerance will increase." So, he prays for the Holy Spirit to come and "
reignite in our hearts and our hands the fraternal love that makes us like Jesus." The bold is mine as I think it so important!
