The Spirit Directs the Church

The mission of the Church is the work of the Spirit. The Spirit told the first evangelizers where to go and that it was not necessary for a Gentile to submit to the Jewish law (cf. Acts 15:5-11), opening the door to all and making them feel at home while keeping their own culture and traditions, provided these are not contrary to the Gospel.
Along this path Paul dialogues on cosmic religion with the Lyaconians and on philosophy with the Greeks, showing them that the God Paul wants to preach is a already to be found in their lives. His speeches are an example of inculturation.

Commentary:
The Mission Belongs to the Spirit

When missionaries are very involved and active in the performance of the Catholic mission, they often are not reminded that in reality, the mission of the Church belongs to the Holy Spirit. It is when they forget this reality that they experience much burnout. This is because they source most of the energy from their own human resources rather than from the power and strength that comes from the Holy Spirit. The only solution to prevent such a situation is to be in an attitude of prayer and have a constant frame of mind and heart that it is the Holy Spirit who directs the mission and will see to its fulfillment and completion.

Catholic Internet Mission also seeks the direction of the Holy Spirit. For it is through Him that the mission moves and derives its being. Since Catholic Internet Mission belongs to the Holy Spirit and when it does not make its mission its own, then for certain, it shall be led to the right paths in the Internet world as long as it continues to be open to the Spirit's direction and remains docile to His promptings through the instrumentality of all Church teaching, tradition and doctrine.
