The very same Spirit who led Jesus into the desert is leading you, and he will empower you with his word to stand as champion over the world’s greatest enemy.”

“The fire of the Holy Spirit is different from the fire of “war and bombs,” from the fires “lit by the dictators of every age.” It “brings out the best and most genuine in mankind ... our call to truth and love. ”
—from Benedict XVI’s homily for Pentecost
