THE CHURCH: DIVIDED TONGUES LIKE FIRE Brenda Noriega
Acts 2 narrates the coming of the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire that gifted the disciples with speaking in different languages. Today, we have the responsibility of creating a Pentecost in our Church to appreciate and embrace the gift of diversity as divided tongues of holy fire. Join us in a reflection on the importance of incorporating the heart language(s) of God’s people in faith encounters for the renewal of the Church as the Body of Christ.
