The Charismatic and Instrumental Church (Jn 14:23-29)

The Holy Spirit is to the church what Jesus was to his disciples. Now it is by the power of the Holy Spirit that the body of Christ is made alive and it's guided and this is done through both charismatic and the institutional church. Pray to the Holy Spirit individually and seek his wisdom as mediated and revealed through the church the sacraments in the magisterium.
