newness—and demands our complete trust.”

Drawing from the examples of Noah,
Abraham and Moses, Pope Francis said that
the “newness” of the Holy Spirit brought the
joy, serenity and courage to proclaim the
Gospel to the disciples of Christ. However, the
Holy Father called on the faithful to ask
themselves if they are “open to God's
surprises” or if we are “closed and fearful
before the newness of the Holy Spirit.”

“The Holy Spirit,” the 76 year old pontiff said,
“would appear to create disorder in the
Church, since he brings the diversity of
charisms and gifts; yet all this, by his working,
is a great source of wealth, for the Holy Spirit
is the Spirit of unity, which does not mean
uniformity, but which leads everything back
to harmony.”

“In the Church, it is the Holy Spirit who
creates harmony. Only the Spirit can awaken
diversity, plurality, and multiplicity, while at
the same time building unity. Here too, when
we are the ones who try to create diversity and
close ourselves up in what makes us different
and other, we bring division. When we are the
ones who want to build unity in accordance
with our human plans, we end up creating

variety within the communion of the Church.”
