Whitsun edification

Cardinal Ratzinger as was via Fr Sibley, with thoughts of particular relevance to those of us prone to Laodiceanism. And, for deutschspraechiger, the Bishop of Fulda makes it clear that evangelism requires more holiness than strategy.

...
O lux beatissima,
Reple cordis intima
Tuorum fidelium.
Sine tuo numine
Nihil est in homine,

Sana quod est saucium,
Flecte quod est rigidum,
Fove quod est frigidum,
Rege quod est devium.
