Pentecost Sunday
The fruits of the Holy Spirit, in addition to love, are understood by all, no translations are needed: joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. I am sure that the Universal Pastor, Pope Leo XIV, knows this because he has witnessed its power in the life of Parde Nicola. Pope Leo’s message of peace resonates throughout the world. The joy he brought to Africa on his recent visit spoke volumes about the needs of a dynamically growing church, especially one with a poverty of goods but a wealth of love. Leo’s demonstrations of kindness and goodness were comprehended by all who witnessed them.
