Pope Francis said today (June 9, 2019) that without the gifts of the Holy Spirit, Christians lack that which animates them and gives them internal life and harmony, according to the National Catholic Register website.
"Without the Spirit, our Christian life unravels, lacking the love that brings everything together," Francis said at Mass in St. Peter's Square today.
At Mass for Pentecost, the pope spoke about the Holy Spirit, which he said is "far from being an abstract reality," but is the "most concrete and close, the one who changes our lives."
"The Spirit is peace in the midst of restlessness, confidence in the midst of discouragement, joy in sadness, youth in aging, courage in the hour of trial," the pope asserted.
