More wisdom from Fr. Wilfrid Stinissen, O.C.D.

Love is not a diffuse, impersonal force but, rather, a ‘personalizing’ force. The love that is the Holy Spirit makes you who you are. And when you become an instrument of the Spirit and allow him to work in you, you in turn help others to become real persons. The Spirit unites, but without erasing differences. On the contrary, he brings out the differences and makes them evident. I become more who I am, and you become more who you are, which enables us to have deep, personal relationships.

—FR. WILFRID STINISSEN, O.C.D.
from The Holy Spirit, Fire of Divine Love
