In the Church, the Spirit creates “Christ-like people.”

When the fullness of time came, the Savior was born of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary; God appeared in the human body. However, his birth mystically extends into all centuries. Christ becomes present again by the action of the Spirit, and Mary; the Church holds the office. In this way, theologians claim, the Spirit continues in history; he “takes upon himself the image of Christ.” He transforms the Eucharistic bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, through the words of the priest in the sacrament of reconciliation he forgives sins, the only Spirit with the Lord and in general, in all the sacraments, in the liturgy, in prayers, he sanctifies the people and the world. How could the successors of the apostles apply Jesus’ words to those who hear you, he hears me (cf. Luke 10:16) if he was not in their words.

The theme was always the same: the transformation of the Lord into Mount Tabor. The aim of the test was precise: the painter had to prove his ability to see the world no.

Do you know the Holy Spirit?
Worldly eyes, but in a way that the three apostles saw him during the Transfiguration. It was a vision that was a kind of foretaste of the future world after the resurrection of the dead.
