Pope’s quotes: ‘Division comes from the devil’

A quote from Pope Francis:

“First of all, conversion to the love of Jesus, that changes life and makes a Christian a witness to God’s love. I hope that you will share with all in the Church the grace of Baptism in the Holy Spirit. I expect from you an evangelization with the Word of God that proclaims that Jesus lives and loves all humankind. May you give witness of spiritual ecumenism with all those brothers and sisters of other Churches and Christian communities who believe in Jesus as the Lord and Savior. May you remain united in the love that the Lord Jesus asks of all for all mankind, and in prayer to the Holy Spirit to reach this unity, necessary for evangelization in the name of Jesus.

Be close to the poor and needy to touch in their flesh the wounded flesh of Jesus. Seek unity in Renewal because unity comes from the Holy Spirit and is born of the unity fo the Trinity. Where does division come from? The devil! Division comes from the devil. Flee from internal struggles, please!”

-- National Convocation of “Renewal in the Spirit,” Olympic Stadium in Rome, June 2, 2014
