We recognize the Spirit as the force that empowers and animates the world. This Spirit has been at work since creation, initiating and sustaining all spiritual life. It is the creative life of the cosmos, giving vision to those attuned to God's heartbeat. This same Spirit anoints, empowering individuals with wisdom and power to do good and bring healing. The Spirit is God's presence, wisdom, and power, addressing alienation, time, and injustice. Understanding the Spirit in this way, we see it as always present with us, embodying divine presence, wisdom, and power in our lives.
May the ever-present Spirit, embodying divine presence, wisdom, and power, continue to empower and animate our lives, bringing healing, justice, and unity to all creation.
