Evangelizer Filled with the Holy Spirit. Formation of the Witnesses of the Gospel in the Congregation of the Benedictine Sisters of the Missionaries

Abstract

The apostles „were filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit permitted them” (Acts 2. 4) That was accompanied by spectacular signs, such as a violent wind and tongues of fire. Just as Jesus foretold it, something unusual happened, something that made the lives of the students radically changed. The basis of this experience is the historical fact of the cross and resurrection of Jesus. The work of evangelization undertaken by the Benedictine missionary confirms the authenticity of Christian life in the Holy Spirit, which also happened to the Apostles, and those who brought the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thanks to this, the Benedictine missionary became a witness of Christ and accomplishes the mission she received in the Church community. The Christian formation is used to build the history of salvation in the Holy Spirit. The awareness of the gift of the Holy Baptism, introducing the new quality of life by „the gate”, which is life according to the Spirit, that makes every action of the Benedictine missionary a praise of God, communion with Him and „a source” of bond with every human being.
