HOLY SPIRIT ReSOURCES

-Ignatius IV

Without the Holy Spirit:

God is far away,
Christ stays in the past,
the Gospel is a dead letter,
the Church is simply an organization,
authority is a matter of domination,
mission is a matter of propaganda,
liturgy is no more than a memory,
Christian living is a slave morality.

But with the Holy Spirit:

the cosmos is resurrected and groans
with birth-pangs of the Kingdom,
the risen Christ is there,
the Gospel is the power of life,
the Church shows forth
the life of the Trinity,
authority is a liberating service,
mission is a Pentecost,
the liturgy is both memorial and anticipation,
human action is deified.
