Series: The Mission's Spirit

The Spirit ensures us that there is a future even in our mortal bodies. Certainly, there is life after death, and we shall share in Christ’s Resurrection. Yet, we cannot forget that the Spirit moves the Church in transforming the world into a new Earth where people can live fulfilled lives before God. Hope is a gift of the Spirit. A gift that becomes true any time a person is open to the action of the Spirit and accepts to testify to his faith by living a life of service to others.

The Holy Spirit is the first agent of evangelization and precedes the full establishment of the Church; He sets the process of personal conversion and of the coming of the Kingdom into motion. The full belonging to the Church will come later. The Church cannot control the dynamism of the Holy Spirit, but only recognizes His presence and action with the passage of time through a challenging journey of discernment.
