QUOTE : People who ask for the Holy Spirit to come to us - into our hearts, into the community we live in, and to our earth -<br />don't want to flee into heaven or to be snatched away into the next world. They have hope for their hearts, their community and this earth. We don't pray `Let us come into your kingdom' either. We pray `Your kingdom come on earth as in heaven.' The petition for the coming of the divine Spirit to us frail earthly people implies a great, unbroken affirmation of life.
