so that we can know and experience
Jesus' own relationship with his Father,
and be free to live in the Father's embrace with Jesus.
There Is More Going on Here
Than You Ever Dared to Dream
The Holy Spirit wants to stay with us: he is not a passing guest who comes to pay us a courtesy visit. He is a companion for life, a stable presence. He is Spirit and desires to dwell in our spirits. He is patient and stays with us even when we fall. He remains because he truly loves us; he does not pretend to love us, and then leave us alone when things get difficult. No. He is faithful, he is transparent, he is authentic.
--Pope Francis, Regina Caeli, May 14, 2023
