How great are God and His kingdom! How great is the historical hour of world crisis, world distress and world catastrophe; how much greater still is God’s hour of judgment of the world and Christ’s hour of liberation that is coming! How burning our desire should be to know all these things more and more deeply and to share in them; how fervently we should expect and long for the day itself, the coming day, that will bring freedom and unity!

In such times the sacrament of forgiveness is needed more than ever, for the enemy’s furious hatred challenges us to meet him with the opposite. Our enemies are the very ones we should love by having faith and understanding for them, knowing that in spite of their blindness they have a divine spark that needs to be fanned. Love for our enemies has to be so real that it reaches their hearts. For that is what love does. When that happens, we will find the hidden spark from God in the heart of even the greatest sinner.

We all have the impression more and more that it is not much help to us to go into an abstract analysis of how this Spirit works and takes shape. But we do need one another, we who are under the freeing and liberating influences of this Spirit. We want to know one another and experience together what the life-giving Spirit does amongst us.
