Addressing members of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit under the protection of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, also known as Spiritans, Pope Francis described their charism like the hand of God, who"caresses the people, caresses each one of you: the tender God who always caresses."
The audience took place to mark the 175th anniversary of the re-foundation of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, which joined the original order with the Society of the Sacred Heart of Mary, in 1848.Pope Francis went on to note that these values were already evident in the story of the order's first foundation. The Spiritan's founder, then a young deacon, along with twelve seminary companions, driven by the Spirit, courageously embarked on an unexpected adventure.
Pope Francis noted that through many unforeseen events, docility to the action of the Spirit transformed his life into a series of"courageous assents, through which God started something new in him, and through him in others as well."The Pope spoke then about the second foundation of the congregation, in 1848. He said the Holy Spirit"asked the community to share all the fruits of its past in a new scenario.
"To do this," said the Pope,"it was certainly necessary to overcome fears and jealousies, and the brothers of the two families accept the challenge, joining forces and sharing what they had for a new beginning.
