prayer for baptism in the Spirit should be offered to everyone so that they can be renewed in the gift of the Holy Spirit. There is an urgency in the Church that we learn how to more fully work with the Holy Spirit, and live a lifestyle in union with the Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit for union with God. We need the Holy Spirit for inner transformation and growth in holiness. We need the Holy Spirit for ministry that is empowered by the spiritual gifts for evangelization and service. We need the Holy Spirit to be united, and to build strong communities of faith and prayer.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”3) Building Strong Faith Communities: ” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,102,191,0.55)” closed_toggle_background_color=”#efefef” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” open=”off” link_option_url_new_window=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” text_shadow_style=”none” box_shadow_style=”none” hover_transition_duration=”300ms” hover_transition_delay=”0ms” hover_transition_speed_curve=”ease”]<\/p>\n Like the Jerusalem community in the Acts of the Apostles we develop communities that have a shared life of faith, prayer, and service, empowered by the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:42-47; 4:23-37). It is extremely important in today’s world to develop a strong Catholic culture to counteract the negative values so prominent in our society\/culture.
