The Holy Spirit in the Church - Page 7

Index

But where human power could not avail, the Holy Spirit worked the miracle.  The Catholic Revival swept like a cleansing and invigorating breeze through England.  The churches were opened, and within them order and cleanliness and beauty returned: the Sacramental life of the Church was renewed and the dignity of her worship restored.  And many a soul since then has been converted and become a faithful penitent and devout communicant.

And the worldwide Church has shown in the last century and in our own 21st century, that faced by persecution, neither imprisonment nor torture nor death can crush her for she is God’s own Church, filled, inspired and supported by his Holy Spirit.
