It's not for nothing that in the language of Jesus "fire" is above all a representation of the cross, w/o which Christianity does not exist
We must know how to recognize that..losing ourselves forDtrue God, DGod of love&life, is..gaining ourselves, finding ourselves more fully
He had previously said was realized: "I have come to cast fire upon the earth, and how I long that it already be burning!" The fire of God, the fire of the Holy Spirit, is that of the bush that burned without being consumed.
It is a flame that burns but does not destroy, that, in burning, brings forth the better and truer part of man, as in a fusion it makes his interior form emerge, his vocation to truth and to love.
DChurch is one&multiple..destined as she is to live among all nations/peoples,in the most diverse social contexts. She responds2 her vocation to be a sign&instrument of unity ofDhuman race if she remains free from every state and every particular culture. [The Church is the]house of all in which each one can find a place.
homogenization..d modelOfBabel..dImpositionOfA culture of unity that we could call "technological."..in Babel everyone spoke d same language. At Pentecost..DApostles speak different languages..everyone understands the message in his own tongue. DUnity of the Spirit is manifested inD plurality of understanding. DChurch is one&multiple.
When a person or a community, limits itself to its own way of thinking&acting, it's a sign that it has distanced itself from the Holy Spirit
unity is the sign of recognition, the "business card" of the Church in the course of her universal history.
Persons, often reduced to individuals in competition or in conflict with each other, by d Spirit of Christ, open themselves2d experience of communion, can involve them to such an extent as2make of them a new organism: Church
The Spirit triggers a process of reunification of the divided and dispersed parts of the human family
Where there are divisions and estrangement he creates unity and understanding.
The Son of God, dead and risen and returned to the Father, now breathes with untold energy the divine breath upon humanity, the Holy Spirit.
-- my heart rejoices in the Lord!
