The -> CHURCHÂ is the place in the world where the Holy Spirit is completely present. [797-801, 809]
The people of Israel worshipped God in the Temple of Jerusalem. This temple no longer exists. It has been replaced by the Church, which is not limited to a particular place. “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Mt 18:20). What makes her alive is the Spirit of Christ: He lives in the Word of Sacred Scripture and is present in the sacred signs of the -> SACRAMENTS. He loves in the hearts of believers and speaks in their prayers. He leads them and bestows charisms on them – simple gifts as well as extraordinary ones. Anyone who enters into a relationship with the Holy Spirit can experience true miracles even today.
