If the happiness of the individual open to the Spirit is so great,
what would be the happiness of a group of people,
of a whole society,
which would allow itself to be completely guided by the Holy Spirit unreservedly.
Surely we will be capable of producing great union and also great good.
Today there might not be a single one of you who refuses anything to the Holy Spirit.
Open your hearts to the Spirit who longs to be desired because the Spirit answers the prayers of those whose hearts are sincere and who give themselves in truth.
Open yourselves that you may be filled with the gifts of the Spirit.
