And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
–Acts 2:4


We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.


The devout Christian of the future will either be a “mystic,” one who has “experienced” something, or he will cease to be anything at all.
–Karl Rahner


Mysticism helps recover the presence of God in the world and in everyday life; it makes intelligible the personal experience with God, unmasks false God experiences, and allows God’s presence to emerge where one might have overlooked or ignored it.
–Annemarie Kidder
