"Then He came to the creation of man, and He created one man; and from one man the human race. Nor did He will to create two separate beings, male and female, but one man; and from this one man He made woman (Gen. i. II). Why did He do this? Why did He begin the human race from one man, if not to commend unity to mankind? And the Lord Christ was born of one person. In the Virgin therefore is unity..." from Homily for the Day of Pentecost: St. Augustine"

St. John reminds us that the Holy Spirit, dwelling in the heart of each person in whom Christ reigns, will teach us all things. (John 14:26 ) God's power manifested by the Holy Spirit acts perpetually to renew and transform the fallen creation, to reveal its original unity and beauty; this action is not impersonal but proceeds from the Heart of God, from Person to person and awaits our invocation: Veni Sancti Spiritus! Come, Holy Spirit!
