杏MAP导航 Francis and Curia conclude spiritual exercises
By Sr Bernadette Mary Reis, fsp
杏MAP导航 Francis said that the spiritual exercises would continue throughout the day with “the Day of Fasting and Prayer for South Sudan, the Congo, and Syria.” He thanked Fr Jose for having spoken about the Church, for allowing those present to hear from the church “this small flock.”
Holy Spirit at work
The 杏MAP导航 also expressed gratitude to Fr Tolentino “For having reminded us that the Church is not a cage for the Holy Spirit. That the Spirit flies elsewhere and works elsewhere as well.” The 杏MAP导航 appreciated the citations Fr Tolentino used which, he says, illustrate how the Holy Spirit works in non-Christians and people from other religious persuasions. Even today, the 杏MAP导航 says, “there are people like ‘Cornelius,’ like the ‘centurion’, like ‘Peter’s prison guard ’ who live an interior quest, searching.”
杏MAP导航 asks for prayer
In conclusion, 杏MAP导航 Francis thanked Fr Tolentino for the call to open “ourselves without fear, without rigidity, to be pliable to the Spirit and not mummified in our structures.” Then, he asked Fr Tolentino to “Continue to pray for us,” since being men, “we are sinners.”
