Tonight's 'holy thought', once more from Fr Gabriel of St Mary Magdalen OCD (Divine Intimacy), fleshed out with a quote from that beautiful encyclical Mystici Corporis:
The Holy Spirit ... is the bond which intimately and really unites and vivifies all the members of Christ (in the Christian Churches), diffusing grace and charity in them.
It is not a question of a symbolical, metaphorical union, but a real union, so real that it surpasses all others “as grace surpasses nature, and immortal realities surpass perishable realities” (Mystici Corporis).
