Holy Spirit unifies believers, says pope

Posted by : J.D. Long-García

Pope Benedict XVI asked some 200,000 World Youth Day pilgrims to be open to the Holy Spirit’s unifying love during a July 19 candlelit vigil at Sydney’s Randwick Racecourse.

“We have seen that it is the Holy Spirit who brings about the wonderful communion of believers in Jesus Christ,” he said.  ”True to His nature as giver and gift alike, He is even now working through you.  Inspired by the insights of St. Augustine: let unifying love be your measure; abiding love your challenge; self-giving love your mission!”

Stay tuned to this blog for updates from staff writer Ambria Hammel, who is busy reporting on World Youth Day from Sydney. For now, you can read Pope Benedict’s entire address on the Vatican Web site.
