United by the Spirit: Diversity that Enriches, Interculturality that Transforms

The Pentecost Homily delivered by Fr. Anselmo R. Ribeiro, Superior General of the SVD, at Missionshaus St Gabriel, Austria.
The Holy Spirit does not erase our differences but speaks through them. On this Pentecost, we celebrate a Church born not in uniformity, but in diversity. Interculturality is not a challenge to overcome—it is a gift that enriches and transforms. United by the Spirit, we are sent as one.
