Förnyad Påve förväntas

Har, som ni som kikat på dagens twitterflöde vet, skrivit ett brev till Påven idag.

Kommer att skicka det imorgon, eller kanske symboliskt på onsdag, Marie bebådelsedag.

Men jag har redan delvis fått ett slags svar på det jag inspirerades att skriva - om förnyelse, genom en artikel jag fick nu.

Och viktigare och större än så - jag tror vi kommer att få se en föryngrad/förnyad Påve komma hem från Afrika. För det är tydligt att den helige Ande rör starkt vid honom just nu. Känner av det ända till Sverige - wow! :-)

Låt oss alla be för honom - och med honom!

Helige Ande - far igenom hela Kyrkan...! Förnya, befria, uppväck... Fyll oss alla!!!

"The Holy Father seemed to draw energy from the youthful crowd, declaring "Meeting young people is good for everyone!" as he began his address.

"You may have your share of difficulties," the Pope said, "but you are filled with great hope, great enthusiasm and a great desire to make a new beginning. My young friends, you hold within yourselves the power to shape the future.

But the Pontiff was careful not to point them to their own abilities as the source of change. "I encourage you to look to that future through the eyes of the Apostle John," who wrote in Revelation, "I saw a new Heaven and a new earth… and I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven, from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Behold the dwelling of God is with men.’"

"Yes, my friends! God makes all the difference… and more! God changes us; he makes us new! This is what he has promised: ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ It is true!" Pope Benedict exclaimed.

/.../

"There is no doubt about it: life is worthwhile only if you take courage and are ready for adventure, if you trust in the Lord who will never abandon you."

The Pope closed his speech by calling on the young people of Angola to "unleash the power of the Holy Spirit within you, the power from on high! … This is the life worthy of being lived, and I commend it to you from my heart.

May God bless the young people of Angola!"
